"The German reputation for brutality is well-founded; some of their operas last three or four days!"

There are intermissions.
Once a day or so.

If they are all of the quality of this set,
it's a shame they're not longer.

Says one who knows! I just love that sweet lady in white. She looks so happy! She's definitely the focus of the picture. ;>
Thanks! I was surprised at how few people were my age (48) or younger. I think it's partly that opera companies know they'll sell out a Ring cycle no matter the ticket price, and they use it to subsidize other performances, which means they can charge what they want; the most expensive tickets were $200 per show, and the cheap seats were $60.
