I loves me my Wagner, maybe not as much as Stephen Fry or +Andrew Higgins but still it is a long time love of mine. I saw the Ring done up at the MET early on in its run, I got to see the set actually fall apart at the end of Götterdämmerung..and not in a healthy way. So it is with much interest I saw this come across my Listen feed.
