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.
