わ、イーグレンのブリュンヒルデ？

Wagner Watch

いつか聴きたいと思いつつ、ここんとこ名前を見かけなかったイーグレンの名前が。しかも一番聴きたいブリュンヒルデだ。でもコンサートパフォーマンスだ。しかも4時間のミニ・リングだって*1。やっぱ理由があって舞台から離れてたのかなあ。コンサート止まりなのかな。気になる。

他のキャストが、つーかぶっちゃけヴォータンが、私の最悪経験ベスト3なので行くことはないと思います。

Encouraging performances of Wagner’s works is a significant portion of the mission of The Richard Wagner Society of the Upper Midwest (RWSUM). RWSUM has agreed to support The Minnesota Concert Opera, in presenting two performances of David Seaman’s abridged version of Wagner’s Ring Cycle performed in concert format. On April 4, 2012, the RWSUM Board of Directors met with renowned singer Dennis Petersen and Founder of The Minnesota Concert Opera, Stanford Felix to discuss the possibility of a 4-hour “mini-Ring” performance at The Goodale Theater in the Cowles Center in Minneapolis. The proposed and so far assembled cast is:

Jane Eaglen: Brunnhilde/Wellgunde

Greer Grimsley: Wotan/Gunter

Lauretta Bybee (married to Greer): Fricka/Flosshilde

Richard Paul Fink: Alberich/Fasolt

Sally Wolfe: Wogline/Freia/Sieglinde/Woodbird/Guntrune

Kevin Langen: Fafner/Hagen/Hunding
