Meme: Last time I...

Last time I traveled abroad: July 2019. Summer holiday to St Anton, now in a coronavirus hotspot. I see that I didn't do a post about it, whoops. The hiking was great, I bashed my knee on the last day. Of course, I should be traveling home from holiday today...

Last time I slept in a hotel Last July, same holiday.

Last time I flew in a plane:

Götterdämmerung <3 I love Wagner! Sadly the director of the Opera house in my city is Italian and prefers to offers all the Verdi's Opera many times than to change things a bit.

I've only seen Götterdämmerung and Siegfried so far, but I loved them. I intend to watch the Ring over the next few weeks, perfect opportunity even if not the same as live!

I like Verdi in moderation, but anything can get a bit samey.

If you have to see one Ring, I'd choose the one orchestrated by Patrice Chereau. It's not the best for the vocal part but the staging is wonderful!
In 2004-2005 I also saw a wonderful but very modern version in my city. The orchestra was above the scene, as to represent Valhalla!

I feel the same about Verdi!
