One of Gluck's so-called "reform" operas. For decades leading up to this period, it was the singers (primarily the castrati) who ruled the opera world, and vocal showmanship overruled every other aspect of performance. Plots didn't matter, neither did characterization, and singers often made up their own vocal lines just to impress the audience. Gluck's operas went radically in a new direction: the music was simplified, plots were shortened and focused, and frequently drew on ancient Greek plays. Iphigenie is considered the prime example of how far Gluck went to bring sense and taste back to the art form.

The age-old question for opera: which is more important, the words or the music? Strauss' last opera doesn't really answer the question, but there's some elegant singing to be heard here, from Ms. Fleming and Mr.Kaiser in particular. (Igor Stravinsky, on the other hand, once said this music makes him gag.)

Plot-wise, everything important already happened 30 years ago, but now all those events from the past play out in a brutal aftermath. Azucena, the gypsy mother to Manrico, has been harboring a grudge for all those years and she is finally about to have her revenge. It's an operatic pot-boiler, and every tune is a winner.

When we last saw him, Wotan had just moved into Valhalla, having offered the Ring to the giants as payment. Fricka, his wife (goddess of marriage), learns that Wotan's illegitimate offspring, the twins Siegmund and Sieglinde, are having an incestuous affair, and she wants Wotan to put an end to it. He doesn't have the heart to kill them, so he asks his favorite daughter, the Valkyrie Brunnhilde, to do it for him. Brunnhilde, confused by the mixed messages, lets them run away instead. Furious at her disobedience, Wotan punishes Brunnhilde by imprisoning her on a rocky mountaintop, surrounding it with impenetrable fire. To be continued...
