Apr 17, 2024 | observatorial.com | Richard Wagner

The musical director Pablo Heras-Casado once again challenges the public Royal Theater con ‘The Mastersingers of Nuremberg’ by Richard Wagner A production of more than five hours long which Heras-Casado has described as an “anecdotal” time and which will be offered in Madrid between April 24 and May 25. “There is always a lot of talk about duration, for me it is something anecdotal. It is simply an opera, a drama, that needs all this time to be told..
Power defining necks from one piece

Mar 23, 2024 | medium.com | Richard Wagner

Does big neck mean big power? I’ve been a One piece viewer since my early teens and I have to admit that I am definitely a fan. It is perhaps not because of the story or animation but because of its nature. One piece has one of the best world building and its no surprise that it’s known for it. For non viewers it may seem strange to see characters unusually tall or big or both,in some clips or images on online platforms. I think this feeling would vanish if they actually watched the anime.
I tried to learn how to write with my left hand

Mar 16, 2024 | medium.com | Richard Wagner

I bet that at least once in your life you might have had the thought “I should try writing with my left hand,it would be so cool”. Well you’re not the only one. Everytime we see someone writing with their left hand or doing anything peculiar in that sense we want a piece of that. The sense of individuality it creates is so overwhelming that we might start to imagine fake scenarios in our heads or some might even try it. Especially in kidsI had a similar phase when I was in school.
Opera review: Siegfried (The Ring Cycle), QPAC

Dec 20, 2023 | artshub.com.au | Richard Wagner |Suzannah Conway

Richard Wagner’s third opera in The Ring Cycle is generally considered the most problematic of his four works. Bringing it together created such difficulty for Wagner that he put the work aside for some 12 years, while he wrote Tristan und Isolde and Die Meistersinger. Musically, it is a huge challenge for both singers and orchestra alike. Each of its three long acts is akin to singing an entire opera in its own right with complex music for both dramatic voices and orchestral instruments.
Barrie Kosky’s New Das Rheingold at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (Column)

Sep 15, 2023 | opera-online.com | Sam Smith |Richard Wagner

Das Rheingold is the first opera in Richard Wagner’s tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen or Ring Cycle. It sets in motion the story that plays out across the four operas, and establishes the central theme of power versus love. It sees the dwarf, or Nibelung, Alberich steal the gold that is guarded by the Rhinemaidens and forge it into a ring that makes the bearer all powerful. He is only able to do so, however, by renouncing love, which in the world we see before us no one has ever done before.
Where's The News?

Sep 4, 2023 | timesnewspapers.com | Richard Wagner

When I was a young, and TV news was equally young, John Cameron Swayze for national and experienced local radio broadcasters graduating to TV provided recognizable information. Yesterday, all the channels repeatedly provided pictures of the gate at the Fulton County jail in Georgia over and over, hour after hour, heralding the sometime arrival of Donald Trump. DUH!Once you’ve seen the gate, lifting and lowering, the reporter stating the obvious — where’s the news?
