Anna Russell's laying out, with examples, of the Ring Cycle is, to coin a word, a classic.

As I mention toward the top of this thread, Barbara and I have taken in Seattle Opera's production of the Ring, sitting through all four very long operas in one week. About twenty hours. We could tell at the end of the week that we'd been sitting a lot, but it was a real experience.

The real snort about Anna Russell's routine about the Ring is it's spot on!
