Opernhaus Zürich, 2022 — an aesthetically subtle take on Richard Wagner's Nibelungen opera cycle. This shot features bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny and soprano Camilla Nylund as their characters Wotan and Brünnhilde at the end of the cycle's second of four parts, Die Walküre. After spending its third act in heated exchanges about having to justify the mortal punishment he is to give his disowned Valkyrie, the heartbroken Wotan plants a final kiss on Brünnhilde's forehead before he lays her down to sleep.

Der beste Zeitpunkt für den Besuch der Bayreuther Festspiele sind die letzten Vorstellungen. Die Stadt ist dann nicht mehr so voll und man hat das Gefühl am grünen Hügel sind überwiegend Freaks und alteingesessene Wagnerianer aus der ganzen Welt. Bis auf ein paar kleine Veränderunen in den letzten Jahren, Jahrzehnten, ist hier die Zeit stehen geblieben und man hat hier immer das Gefühl einer…

this just as an aside but i love how it’s never specified how old brünnhilde is in relation to her sisters. older sister? younger sister? middle sister? i’ve come to think every soprano gets to decide this for herself and we get lots of variations as a result. anne evans and camilla nylund have a sense of measured caution to them, as if they’re used to being the voice of reason to a bunch of arguing girls and that’s very older sister of them. irene theorin and catherine foster have a bit of immaturity left in them but have grown out of the playfulness: middle sisters. evelyn herlitzius and gwyneth jones have extreme i-can-get-away-with-murder Youngest Sister Energy. hildegard behrens is oddly hard to categorise. she’s not quite such a wild child as the other Youngest Sisters(tm) but there’s a sense of frailty in her voice that makes me think of the german word “nesthäkchen”, which roughly translates to “baby of the family”. either she’s the youngest or she never grew to be the responsible oldest sister. i love all my flavours of brünnhilde

“well, guess you’re here and guess you’ll do”

“she WHAT NOW??????????? with WHOM????????”

you little BITCH

WELL THAT’S A LIE

“oops now i have to figure out how to make sure no one will discover that lie”

ONE OF THE GREATEST FUCKING SOPRANO SCENES IN THE HISTORY OF OPERA LADS

*dramatic cut over to baby and crib*

DON’T EVEN FUCKING THINK ABOUT IT

orchestra RAMPING up the intensity in the BEST way

the way she just lets the string drop to the floor… *sobs*

also: GOD TIER music right here

she’s trying to look on the bright side of a situation that has NO bright side at ALL, just to not fall into despair…

she just sounds totally emotionally drained in the best way possible

ma’am you are not in a good emotional state to handle pointy objects

agggggggggggggggggggh

also: camilla nylund here is killing it

SHE’S DESTROYING THE PLANT THAT WAS THE SYMBOL OF HER HOPES AND DREAMS

“hey uh i tried to put it back together”

“I DID NOT FUCKING ASK LACA”

someone is (understandably) not doing well

it may be heavy-handed but by golly it works

GOD FUCKING TIER TAKE ON ONE OF THE SINGLE GREATEST ACTS OF OPERA EVER WRITTEN

Götterdämmerung Opernhaus Zürich (Noseda, Homoki) first impressions

for context I stumbled into the same event's Rheingold and Walküre during their back halves and either Mezzo TV skipped Siegfried or I missed it during the weeks I was out, shame

the Norns looked very Targaryen coded for me and this is a narrative with a Targaryen analogue aka Siegfried who to me is like Taylor Swift and Daenerys Targaryen at the same time. I will elaborate later

it's one thing to put on a horse helmet and gallop around and it's another thing to do that and then realise that you forgot your weapon. my ADHD ass felt that

Hagen is a walking gothic spire with that fucking bass to match and he can pin me to the wall with his spear any day

the color coding between the Gibichungs and the lead couple is sending me. Gutrune rocks that shade of red like a diva

Waltraute's eyes scare me more than her account of what happened after Brünnhilde was banished

it pierces me (pun intended) to see Wotan catatonic ngl, not just a how the mighty have fallen trope but it's also that he's got no voice in this finale (congrats Tomasz you can rest now) which scares me because this is a daddy whose issues fucked him so bad that his daughters feel like walking on eggshells waiting for him to speak

the funny thing about giving Gunther a lob while both his sister and Siegfried have one is that Klaus Florian Vogt could just put on the ginger wig and it would still work; instead we have of course the Tarnhelm as a hood (ok this is nice) and then Daniel Schmutzhard coming in with a blank face like an egg ghost from the Korean exorcist drama Sell Your Haunted House possessed the man

why is Hagen surrounded by John Wick variants. why is everyone in black. Wave-Götterdämmerung-Treffen? Goth-erdämmerung? goddamn. I want to join

I am also just enamored in the most childish way whenever somebody wears a robe and it swishes when they move; Hagen and Brünnhilde and Gutrune you all have me in a chokehold

Gunther should have married Siegfried

it gets even more ridiculous because Walküre specifically dealt with twincest and now we have a pair of siblings who consciously don't want to do that and still get their asses bitten because they chose an inbred with a violently protective gf

if I were to explain this opera to people who don't know shit it's “how to exploit the bro code when the inbred boyfriend you godmothered against your daddy's wife's wishes cheats on you with a couple that specifically isn't interested in incest”

maybe Siegfried wouldn't have been too faithful either if he didn't drink that love potion; it stretches the story but it adds intrigue and a bit of realism because honestly, men, but still, runtime, and also, men

Gutrune acting like a coquette for over half the number she spends alone with Siegfried and then shagging him at the end is very fan fiction paced

Camilla Nylund, I love you

the reason I said Siegfried is like Taylor Swift is that both of them are likable especially when you're a white supremacist

Hagen and Brünnhilde make an interesting parallel because both of them have beef with their dads and that beef is just left to rot with only Alberich still alive at the end

the tree trunk has a face on one of its sides, I wonder if it's intentional

camera focus on KFV's hand as he lies lifeless at the bed kinda lost its power when later Siegfried is shown to reanimate again to give the ring to Brünnhilde (her death being shown as him taking her and the horse helmet by the hand to exit stage left is quite cute though)

as with Rheingold the look of the Rhine girls just being in pajamas sharing a bed while the rotating set is almost entirely white registers to me like either The Matrix or an asylum — though because Homoki made the concept really sparse it does let the viewer fill in those blanks in their head

lol @ Hagen's defenestration. lol

Zürichs neuer “Ring des Nibelungen” ist komplett. Mit der Premiere von “Götterdämmerung” ist der Zyklus von ANDREAS HOMOKI und GIANANDREA NOSEDA nun abgeschlossen, im Mai 2024 zeigt die Oper Zürich dann zwei komplette Zyklen. Der neue Ring ist unaufgeregt, absolut stimmig, am Libretto entlang erzählt, sehr sehenswert und bis in die kleinsten Rollen grossartig besetzt. Die “Götterdämmerung” ist…

BAYREUTH 2021

M’hagués agradat, com era habitual a can IFL fer un apunt per a cada òpera de les retransmeses del Festival de Bayreuth 2021, però un accident em té amb el braç dret en un cabestrell i això em dificulta enormement l’escriptura i no em deixa esplaiar com voldria en cada títol del vist (holandès) i escoltat (Meistersinger, Tannhäuser i Walküre). Retornar a finals de juliol a les tardes wagnerianes…
