And . . . the entire jolly old Niblungs' Ring here we see: avaxho.me/music/classical/OperaWith a great deal of fancy business in the modern fashion. Any one seen it or know anything about it? Any good?

I regret I have not seen that filming of Siegfried, so I can't comment. I am not sure that mega-budget special effects are always the best way of showing a piece. Very often they are a substitute for an idea However, such are the modern mores, that audiences lap up this kind of thing
