I'd like to see this done with a serious effort to make it look like the period of the events in the opera, around 400 AD. What great music; there's nothing like it.
@Jaydoggy531 True but since this Ring is from the late 80s, early 90s it was groundbreaking back then. I agree overall though, we've long passed the point in time where radical conceptual theatre has become reactionary itself.
I'm finding sunglasses and ankle-length trench coats so often in "new" stagings that despite their attempts to be unique and different, they become guilty of new cliches and repetitive images and costumes.

Absurd production. Can you even imagine what it would be like to experience a REAL production, or film, of this music?

Sunglasses and trenchcoats are a symbol of our time, so we receive the input that each opera is contemporary
