Zelden heb ik een regisseur zo de mantel uitgeveegd geweten als Robert Lepage in The New York Observer. Volledig terecht overigens. Enkele fragmenten : “The result of all of this spending and innovation, though, was a Rheingold dull and shockingly out of touch with Wagner's intricately drawn characters and plot. The singers seemed genuinely undirected, lost in front of the set's imposing mass. The production team working down to the wire to get the technical aspects right (the climactic effect malfunctioned on opening night), but it appeared that relatively little attention was given to the acting. There were no relationships; there was no drama. No one, not even the powerful bass-baritone Eric Owens as Alberich, made much of an impact.”
