"There will be another generation of babushkas." came the reply.
And they were right, too - there was. |

i've just watched the new documentary on HvK and agree with Stan's comments.
Among the tapestry of contributors Christa Ludwig emerges as a tower of integrity,warmth and good humour. Now retired from singing,she'd make a perfect mayor for a city.
The Ring cycle may well be one of the most beautiful ever recorded (see Richard Barrett and SK) but judging by the clips-in terms of *look* it would appear that Star Treck was the model.

That would indeed seem to be the case. Luckily my image of that performance has been formed without seeing what it looked like on stage. Mind you I think Star Trek has been a wide and unacknowledged influence on opera production. |

Perhaps someone should write a thesis about this phenomenon Richard!

A picture I found on the internet earlier today:  Quite operatic, don't you think?  |

Probably from an unknown production of Tristan und Isolde:  From the left to the right: Brangäne, King Mark and Isolde. |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Why does the guy on the right's shirt have nipples?  The buttons are rather misplaced... |
