The Living Force
My father was listening to Wagner Operas - as well as to many others - and I did not like it. I got in contact to hearing Wagner when years ago I heard the Parzival theme on the radio and I was so touched that I almost started crying. Since it was a report about a performance in a city 200 km aways I decided I would go there and watch this opera just to know what it was about. I went there, but it was a big disappointment.You really need a muse for Wagner... I was born in the Wagner city Bayreuth...
I once had the opportunity to see the "Flying Dutchman" live in the Festspielhaus. It was very impressive... but with Wagner, of course, there swings also another mood...
t was one of those productions that prefer ugly stage sets. That's why I sat with my head down the whole time. My neighbor did the same and we were both convinced that we had seen the ugliest production ever.
While listening yesterday I had the strong impression that it would be possible to dance to that kind of music. Maybe I try it sometimes and see what happens. One has to pay attention tp what this music does to you.
