Wagnerian Influence
This entry makes people think that this blog is only for products of serious or sad things, but this is one of the most interesting productions of the year. It is the production of Wagners “Die Walküre”, the opera. The man who plays Wotan, James Morris, may be a little too old for the role, with his voice failing him at times. It’s also possible to think that this sound made him even more believable in the role, which shows that it’s not enough to have absolute power, but you must also have wisdom. In other words, the character has power but is also quite fallible at the same time. Similarly, his characterization fit that perfectly. Keep an eye on this production: it is at the Met and it’s one of the best.
