A nod to Chrstie Connolley of Operagasm for bringing to my attention this really fantastic footage of Birgit Nilsson during a recording session of Wagner's Götterdämmerung (the final notes of the final opera in his epic Ring Cycle, to be exact). The orchestra and crew decided to play a little joke on Ms. Nilsson...
A few of us here in the office are gearing up for our own encounter with The Ring in June. We're seeing Die Walküre at LA Opera during Opera America's 2010 Conference. More on that soon.
