ironymaidenthe Met is streaming Wagner operas all week including the Ring in its entirety.
tonight was the first time we tried tuning in - i thought that they would be livestreaming, but they're not, it's just up for free at a specific time of day. when you start it you start at the beginning, which is especially nice when you're in a different time zone.
i like the aesthetic of tonight's Tristan and Isolde production, but it's very dark and nearly monochrome. all the subtle details pop in the recording, but if we were watching from the house at Lincoln Center the actors would just look like floating heads.
i'm bummed that i have class during Das Rheingold, which in spite of not having the breakaway pop hit is probably my favorite part of the cycle (mermaids! treasure! not paying your contractors! a trip to the underworld!).
