Day 150: Lord of Wagner's Ring
Day 150 — Lord of Wagner's Ring
30-December-1971 (Thur.)
Before
the Lord
of the Rings movies,
there was
Richard Wagner’s Ring
Cycle. I go to
see the first opera, Das
Rheingold. Although
there is no CGI (computer-graphic imagery) in these
operas, as in the movie, the live staging and effects
that an opera company often produces for a Wagnerian
opera can often be quite dramatic and inspiring.
What do these girls (above) have to do with Wagner? Nothing. A Montclair State friend, Lucille, informs me that they are heading to Munich soon. Yay.
