Wotan (explaining Siegmunde and Sieglinde's incestuous love): "Sometimes things happen that have never happened before"--Die Walkure
Brunnhilde (to Wotan): "Who am I if not your will?"--ibid.
"I dated your sister for three months."
"She says you were a total asshole!"
"Yeah, I can see why she'd say that."
--Treme
Saw the cinemacast of the Met production of Wagner's Die Walkure at the Sheppard Grande. Another excellent Robert Lepage production: over four hours long (plus intermissions), but it didn't seem protracted. As Brunnhilde, Deborah Voight was youthful as a bobby-soxer!
Dinner was the rest of the fettucine.
