David LomelíGUEST
Well, Dallas Opera, the core is not a... a building house.
David LomelíGUEST
We don't have a shop of our own, like Santa Fe Opera, Atlanta Opera, Bayreuth Stats Opera, just the other opera houses I work these days.
David LomelíGUEST
And we have a custom shop that can do incredible good alterations, but built from scratch.
David LomelíGUEST
We will need a lot of time because we don't have that size of stuff or shop to build it.

David LomelíGUEST
I think for us on stage, we want to go as analog as possible.
David SalazarHOST
Yeah.
David SalazarHOST
No, I just, I bring that up because I have noticed, I mean, obviously the Bayreuth example is very, but, you know, even in some things where, you know, I saw a production, I saw a DVD recently of Maria Estuarda.
David SalazarHOST
And there's, at least I'm pretty sure there's some AI renderings of the singers in the production.
ExpatriateNARRATOR
But even in Germany, Ibsen's meaning is seen only by glimpses.
ExpatriateNARRATOR
What we need is a theater devoted primarily to Ibsen as the Bayreuth Festspielhaus is devoted to Wagner.
ExpatriateNARRATOR
I have shown how the plays, as they succeed one another, are parts of a continuous discussion.
ExpatriateNARRATOR
How the difficulty left by one is dealt with in the next.
ExpatriateNARRATOR
But even in Germany Ibsen's meaning is seen only by glimpses.
ExpatriateNARRATOR
What we need is a theatre devoted primarily to Ibsen as the Bayreuth Festspielhaus is devoted to Wagner.
ExpatriateNARRATOR
I have shown how the plays as they succeed one another are parts of a continuous discussion, how the difficulty left by one is dealt with in the next, how Mrs. Alving is a reply to your hasty remark that Nora Helmer ought to be ashamed of herself for leaving her husband, how Gregor's Verla warns you not to be as great a fool in your admiration of Lona Hessel as of patient Griesel.
ExpatriateNARRATOR
The plays should, like Wagner's Ring, be performed in cycles, so that Ibsen may hunt you down from position to position until you are finally cornered.
ChrisHOST
I would keep Macassar in there I know he was I know he was blowing hot and cold the other day he wasn't very good but I'd still keep Macassar in there because I think he has the ability to turn a game with his quality so I'd stick him in there and yeah I think that's about it really I think those are the changes I'd make of course I would bring Areola in if he was fit no question I'd love to do that but that ain't gonna happen so yeah that's pretty much
PeteGUEST
it would you pencil in Bayreuth left back
ChrisHOST
I would.
ChrisHOST
I would.
Dr. Stuart FisherGUEST
I went to 19 classical music concerts and operas.
Dr. Stuart FisherGUEST
In Salzburg, Austria, where they filmed The Sound of Music, of course, and in Bayreuth, Germany, which is an old town of Frankfurt heritage, but it's a very famous music and theater festival also.
Jason ManningHOST
I don't see a picture.
Jason ManningHOST
You said you'd sent me a picture, texted me a picture.
Thomas777GUEST
It was July 25th, 1936.
Thomas777GUEST
Uh, this seems like something out of a movie, but, uh, Hitler was actually attending an opera, um, I think at, uh, Bayreuth or Bayreuth.
Thomas777GUEST
Like I, uh, I, I'm sure I'm butchering that pronunciation.
Thomas777GUEST
But, um, literally at the intermission of this opera, um, it, uh, Canaris approaches him, Admiral Canaris, who was, you know, a, a very conspiratorial individual and a, a turncoat.
ThomasGUEST
Uh, this seems like something out of a movie, but, uh, Hitler was actually attending an opera.
ThomasGUEST
Um, I think at, uh, by Ruth or Bayreuth, like I, uh, I, I'm sure I'm butchering that pronunciation, but, um, literally at the intermission of this opera, um, Canaris approaches him, Admiral Canaris, who was a very conspiratorial individual and a turncoat.
ThomasGUEST
I mean, it's been proven many times over.
ThomasGUEST
But he was chief of the Abwehr, the Foreign Intelligence Service.
Daniel GundlachHOST
Now, Regina Resnick sang a lot of Wagner.
Daniel GundlachHOST
She sang Sie Glinde at Bayreuth in 1953, and it was while she was there that she made the decision, supported by both Wieland Wagner and the conductor Clemens Kraus, that maybe it was time to start thinking about moving into the mezzo-soprano repertoire.
Daniel GundlachHOST
And she did that with great aplomb.
Daniel GundlachHOST
She took time off to restudy with the Italian baritone Giuseppe Danese, who I think was married to Bidu Sayau.
Tim Sherman ChaseNARRATOR
That I was compelled instinctively to translate and transfigure everything into the new spirit which filled my breast.
Tim Sherman ChaseNARRATOR
A proof of this, and as strong a proof as you could have, is my essay, Wagner in Bayreuth.
Tim Sherman ChaseNARRATOR
In all its decisive psychological passages, I am the only person concerned.
Tim Sherman ChaseNARRATOR
Without any hesitation, you may read my name, or the word Zarathustra, wherever the text contains the name of Wagner." The whole panorama of the diatherambic artist is the representation of the already existing author of Zarathustra, and it is drawn with an abysmal depth which does not even once come into contact with the real Wagner.

Tim Sherman ChaseNARRATOR
now that, from some distance, I can look back upon the conditions of which these essays are the testimony.
Tim Sherman ChaseNARRATOR
I would be loath to deny that they refer simply to me.
Tim Sherman ChaseNARRATOR
The essay, Wagner in Bayreuth, is a vision of my own future.
Tim Sherman ChaseNARRATOR
On the other hand, my most secret history, my development, is written down in Schopenhauer as educator.
Pat WrightHOST
Just a handful of months after that is when Wagner, in fact, dies.
Pat WrightHOST
But the context where this is premiered is in Bayreuth.
Pat WrightHOST
And if that's an unfamiliar name to you, welcome to the Wagnerian world, everyone.
Pat WrightHOST
Bayreuth is where to this day there is a festival held in this purpose-built theater to Wagner's specifications.
Pat WrightHOST
King Ludwig II of Bavaria was a tremendously enthusiastic and generous supporter of Wagner.
Pat WrightHOST
A lot of what we have from Wagner, we can credit Ludwig for keeping him afloat.
Pat WrightHOST
Ludwig would periodically get really disgusted with him.
Pat WrightHOST
But nevertheless, he supported his music.
