Anna Russell: The Ring Cycle

5/24/2022

0 Comments

 
Several of my friend either sing opera or are serious opera buffs. In a gathering last week, Anna Russell's hilarious 22-minute synopsis of Wagner's Ring Cycle came up during our conversation. Several were unfamiliar with it. What?! How can that be! So, here it is in 3 formats:
  1. Spotify link: open.spotify.com/track/5bkx2i25jRNhm035uNRKHj?si=cf92bf4e964849d9&nd=1
  2. Recorded version on YouTube (first video below). Although it is a YouTube video, this is, in fact, just the recording from her record.
  3. Her farewell performance on YouTube (second video). The Ring Cycle analysis starts at 38:20. (How to write your own Gilbert and Sullivan Opera starts at 20:24. Highly recommended!)
If you are not familiar with Anna Russell, she was an English-Canadian singer and comedian noted for her deadpan humour. She performed many musical sketches while playing the piano and singing. Her analysis of Wagner's Ring Cycle is perhaps her most well-known.
