Man wird diese Walküre sicherlich im Gesamtzusammenhang der Tetralogie neu bewerten müssen, aber mit diesem Disclaimer hier ein paar Gedanken von mir zur Inszenierung (gerne als Diskussionsanregung): 1/
#DOBWalküre #DOBRing @deutsche_oper Bühnenbild:
Das Bühnenbild ist leider sehr eintönig, bleibt über alle Akte gleich und bietet (außer im 1. Akt) wenig Möglichkeit zur Interaktion, so dass die Inszenierung trotz eigentlich guter Personenregie statisch wirkt.

Auf in eine neue Saison, die sich so ganz anders anfühlt als in den anderen Jahren... Aber die gespannte Vorfreude im Saal ist mit Händen zu greifen!! #schöpfung @Konzerthaus_DO Hengelbrock lässt mit seinem wunderbaren Ensemble Klänge aus dem Nichts entstehen, die Stimmen der Solistinnen schwingen sich fast vibrato- und wie mühelos in die Höhe und der Chor preist aus vollen Kehlen nicht nur den Schöpfer, sondern wohl auch die Lust am eigenen Klang.

Despite mixed reviews regarding André Heller‘s staging I am really excited for tonight’s Rosenkavalier at @StaatsoperBLN especially in light of this fantastic cast 😍🌹 @StaatsoperBLN Mostly positive feelings after last night. As expected @GGboeck took the cake with his vivid and engaging portrayal of Baron Ochs. This is the second time I have seen him in this role and it really seems to become the calling card for him.

A while ago Grace Hoffman’s piano score of FROSCH was offered up for sale on eBay. Listening to the opera with her notes before me and knowing that this is the very book she used to prepare her part is a very special experience. On one hand it is fascinating to be able to see how she annotated the part of the Amme (and I wish there was a recording with her in this role) and understand how she has approached the role...

It’s raining cats and dogs outside but I am thrilled beyond belief for this first opera night of the new decade. A more than 20 year old production which I have only been able to see on DVD so far will come to life at @staatsoperHH tonight with a fantastic cast! #backtoschool What! A! Night! Spectacular Lohengrin with a cast to die for. #KFV was exceptional with a great sense for the fine undertones of the score. @Arianetanja sent shivers down my spine during the second act and #SimoneSchneider was a well rounded and beautifully melodic Elsa.

On to the last day of the #RingamRhein. Götterdämmerung with @juliab2209 at @operamrhein
I am really happy that the house seems packed today again after a sadly half-empty auditorium for Siegfried. 💪 @juliab2209 @operamrhein Phenomenal Götterdämmerung closes out a Ring that got better with every performance. Linda Watson was just amazing today and Axel Kober managed to create those magical scenes where you just have to hold your breath because they are so delicate ...

Curtain 📷 for #bftannhäuser Another great production. @LiseDavidsen was out of this world with her beautiful round and dark shimmering voice. I have to admit that I am a bit on the fence with Kratzer‘s staging. Did @Twitter just delete all the messages in my thread? 😳 I had abou six tweets prepared in which I had talked about the production but they seem to be gone!!

Due to waterdamage (of all possible reasons) the Duisburg opera stage is unusable and the @operamrhein Ring cycle will be given as concert performances in a nearby venue. On one hand I am really disappointed bc I was really looking fwd to this staging. @operamrhein On the other hand I would never have ordered a whole Ring cycle as concert performances and now I am really excited to see and hear how this will play out.

Let’s start with this classic. Still pretty amazing after all this time… #myoldharddrive What happened to Robin Schlotz? All I could find was this. The source site is offline but it certainly sounds like it could be true. #myoldharddrive

Back to the opera house. Tonight: Don Giovanni. Stunning: Over the years (starting in 1988) I have seen this opera in five different productions in Münster alone 🧐 @TheaterMS Stage design seems unfit for facebook :-)

@ImogenHerrad @annakatrein “The country needs to accept that it will be less homogeneous.”. This is IMO a major challenge. The values put forward by LdM … @ImogenHerrad @annakatrein … don’t hold water for the future. Germany will very likely see a change in the “national culture”.

Curtain call on last night's #rosenkavalier. What an amazing performance. I'll share some thoughts in this thread. The staging hovered between traditional and a hint of modern. Carsen tried to make it right for everyone. This worked most if the time.

Off we go! #figaroBLO Maestro wears a figaro Shirt. 👍 #figaroBLO

Ready to roll. See you in an hour in Boston, #tweetsquad! #RakesBLO Arrived. Let the magic happen! #canyounoticeimexcited #RakesBLO
