TENTANG EPISODE INI
In July, Theo dragged Jackie (decidedly not a Wagner fan) to the Bayerische Staatsoper's Oper für Alle to watch Tobias Kratzer's new production of Die Walküre on the big screen in the plaza outside the opera house. Nearly five hours of Wagner later, she was profoundly moved, and we recorded this the next morning.
Our conversation is grounded in this production, but we used it as a jumping-off point for a wide-ranging conversation about period pitch, Jungian archetypes, and the ethics of liking work made by horrible people.
This is the start of our coverage of Kratzer's Ring in Munich. More when Siegfried opens in November.
