Wallala! I made it though the Ring in a Day! Sixteen hours of Wagner, and it's all a bit of a blur. The music is swimming through my head like the frolicsome Rhinemaidens. It was very moving and I really got into the drama of it this time, especially the end of Die Walküre (very poignant for daughters). It was only my second complete hearing, and I'm embarassed to say that I haven't actually seen the operas yet. That will soon be rectified.
If anyone would like to listen to this Canadian Opera Company Ring Cycle in a more civilized manner, it will be replayed in September over the course of a week, as originally performed. Don't miss it!
