Are German "Valkyrie" too fat? Unchanged image quote from Spiegel-Online , not satire, not a parody
My beautiful Bayreuth Festival in previous years I have in mind! The Bayreuth Festival of 2009 seems to show degenerated into a celebrity, like Germany itself there was a new beginning to a human, but can not re-staging. How creative, relaxed and friendly but were the old days! Between my semesters of study in Hamburg and Munich, I had an employment as a stagehand at the Festspielhaus. It bears the signature of Wolfgang Wagner.
A small detail of that time I will tell. I had the gold of the giants Fafner and Fasolt field behind them. In the former production of Das Rheingold, 4 Act was not the gold in exchange for Freia of Fafner pushed into a large sack, but threw him to the back of the raised stage. As I waited with a black hood to catch it. The public should keep the illusion of large, heavy gold nuggets. It should not have to laugh about bouncing light foam rubber gold nuggets.
from the lighting towers looking down I experienced the genius Windgassen. Together with my Irish friend Christopher, I read on the surrounding meadows near the Festival Hall Eichendorff. Then I heard again on tiptoe softly to a dress rehearsal. It was a wonderful time.
On 21/Mai/2009 I wrote a letter via email to the President of the Richard Wagner Association, International Association, Prof. Eva Märtson, who now leads the honorary chair, with the request, Wolfgang Wagner to pass this letter . In it I recommended the nation anthem. It was anti-Nazi. You could solve the linkages of the family of Hitler. Wagner was mentioned in it. Perhaps Wolfgang Wagner wants to support the nation anthem active.
Unfortunately I received no response. Instead, I read in Wikipedia sections on anti-Semitism of Richard Wagner, the idolatrous worship of Wagner-Hitler during his Vienna years, and lung of his later influence on the interpretation of "Parsifal". All in all, ignorance has on my email and the historical context leads me to change the sixth verse of the anthem nation. Richard Wagner was taken out today.
old version of the nation's sixth verse anthem with Wagner:
Bach mixed large choirs,Schumann, who enters the Inn're,Wagner sounding supporting freeMozart or pop, sing sing!Let us make music joke;falls outside the evening glow,children hold peace candles,lights give strength and courage.
new version of the nation's sixth verse anthem without Wagner:
Bach's great mixed choirs,Schumann, who enters the Inn're,Beethoven belongs to us all,Mozart or pop sing, sing!Let us make music joke;falls outside the evening glow,children hold peace candles,lights give strength and courage.
