I watched "Das Rheingold" today. It was the 1976 staging directed by Patrice Chereau. It accomplished three things.
1. reinforced my fear that I am just a cog in the industrial machine
2. inspired a game called "Bayreuth" similar to another one with a similar name.
3. Wagner was an asshole
I enjoyed it immensely and will be watching a more traditional staging of die Walkure very soon. I also listened to a lot of rain hitting my window. Why practice with my "Studying Rhythm" book if I can just learn from nature? I suspect professor Cole will not appreciate that question.
