If I ever get to convince any theater to look at my Ring conception, I will let you know. For now, I am a humble reader and lover of your site. Tonight, I will see Boris Godunov @ La Scala ... opening night. Thank you for your reply.
Thanking you at Leidmotief for this excellent review. Always exhaustive, seeming fair, and erudite. I did not see this Lohengrin in the theater. But did suffer through Der Ring in Bayreuth, and in Berlin. In essence, the Chereau Ring of 1976 was classical.
I never understood the commotion as its being so revolutionary. It was a great Ring for me. Sorry I missed the 1876 version at Bayreuth - would have loved being there.
Thanks! I do empathize with your suffering. Now that you mention Chéreau, I happen to be reading the biography of the late Peter Hofmann, confirming the engaging work process of Chéreau. It explains some of the dilettantism of the directors of today.

Enjoy ! I will watch the stream tomorrow. Pictures look OK.
