### ⭐⭐ Not very good.
*by E***N on February 16, 2010*

I have finally gotten around to watching the preliminary evening of the Weimar Ring Cycle and was bitterly disappointed. Recently, I have viewed the entire Copenhagen cycle and the brand new Das Rheingold from Valencia conducted by Zubin Mehta. I enjoyed both of these sets immensely so I guess that means I am not a Wagner purist.The Weimar Rheingold features some of the worst singing I have ever heard in an opera production. I will list only a few of the travesties. The Rhinemaidens are absolutely terrible, especially the one on the top who rarely ever hits a single high note...really, she just doesn't have the notes and when she does they are off pitch. Their harmonies are consistently sour. By the way, one of them is bald. I'm not sure why. Wotan is so light voiced that it is difficult to distinguish him (vocally) from Loge. He sounds like a lyric tenor. I was dumbfounded. Alberich has such a dreadful wobble that you can never tell which pitch he is shooting for. Really awful. He is dressed like the Tim Conway "Dorf" character with boots on his knees. If it weren't so sad it would be funny. Fasolt and Fafner are so light voiced that they are routinely covered by the orchestra. These giants look absolutely ridiculous, sort of like Herman Munster from the tacky TV show.  Fafner looks as if he is about to topple over throughout the entire production (they are on stilts).The gods are clownish figures. Freia looks like Heidi and acts about as well. Froh is blind. Donner looks like the strong man at the county fair. The sets are small and there are no special effects. When Alberich  uses the Tarnhelm to vanish in Scene 2, he does so by shining a lamp in Mime's eyes while continuing to remain in full view. Dragon? Keep dreaming.  I think this production give the Stuttgart Ring Cycle a run for its money in the cuckoo-land production department.What did I enjoy? Nadine Weismann as Erda sings gloriously. Fricka and Loge are fine. The orchestra sounds pretty good and I enjoyed Carl St. Clair's interpretation: very serious and heavy in spite of the lightweight and silly production. I was very surprised by the playing of the Staatskapelle Weimar. There were some dramatic touches that I enjoyed such as Loge's obvious disgust with the gods and Fafner's maniacal laughter as he removes the ring from his dead brother's hand.I would add that I'd hope this production meant something to someone. Did anyone, other than the director, get it? I really found it essentially incoherent. I will push my way on to Die Walkure as I've read that the cycle gets better as it goes on. I will revisit this Rheingold again in an attempt to understand it. I really am open to new ideas in Wagner staging. If there is anyone out there who "gets" this production, then please post a review.  Best wishes to all!

### ⭐ Embarrassing
*by S***. on July 12, 2009*

This is proof that, however beautiful looking and sounding bluray can be, it can not overcome a crappy production.This bluray features horrible staging, infantile costumes, 'community theater' level singing and acting, amateurish direction musical and otherwise,and is overall one of those 'things you can't unsee'.Don't waste your money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A+ production. C- singing.
*by R***S on June 21, 2018*

I thought this was a great production, very interesting and innovative. I think the production is extremely well done, and thought-provoking. This cycle is worth watching for the innovative production.I also think the orchestra does a great job.All of that said......there is a glaring issue that the singing is awful. Just awful. Worst Alberich I've heard on DVD. He doesn't sing pitches, he yells....something. Wotan is a better singer, but he's not a bass. Why is he singing Wotan?It truly boggles the mind that so much value and work can go into a production -- and it shows, this production is very well done -- yet the most important part of opera, the singing, is neglected.
