About Fricka and Brünnhilde: is it not obvious that Fricka is Nietsche's Apollonian reason, following the "right-hand path", while Brünnhilde, like Dionysos, (who breaks the rules), follows the "left-hand" path of the heart?
And why, one may ask, does Wotan reluctantly agree that the object and instrument of his Will,
S...iegmund, must die, while Brünnhilde, who chose to free herself from her father's EGOCENTRIC will to follow that of his heart, must share also be punished?

Seems like narcissism and self-contradiction go hand-in-hand...Creon was exactly the same with his daughter Antigone, and Wagner, being the utter genius that he was, understood human psychology as well as Carl Jung. Only through disobedience do we grow to be who we really are...

Geoff Stelling I was very sad this evening to hear of the death of Hildegard Behrens, perhaps the greatest recent Brunnhilde. A great singer and a great actress.

Trisha Rogers I have just been to my first complete ring cycle (the very controversial Mariinsky one at Covent Garden) and should love to get tickets for one in Bayreuth in 2010! Any advice on the best way to get (reasonably priced) tickets?
