pappano 's essential ring cycle is a british television documentary first aired on bbc four in 2013 presented by the italian conductor antonio pappano about the german composer richard wagner and his tetralogical opera the ring cycle , also called by the formal title of ring of the niebelung .

in 90 minutes he covers all 4 operas consisting of wagner 's ring cycle with scenes taken from his productions of the operas .

included in the programme are interviews with opera singers , notably john tomlinson who has sung the principal character wotan numerous times .

under pappano he has sung the götterdämmerung antagonist , hagen .

pappano visits bayreuth and the palace of wagner 's patron ludwig ii of bavaria during the documentary .

pappano explains how wagner did not approve of the word opera to describe his compositions .

instead he favoured the term musical drama , which he considered to be an all inclusive term for his role of controlling every aspect of the production .

pappano relates how wagner would stand on the stage , directing the singers , including singing all the roles , male and female to them ; as means to direct them in interpreting roles .

wagner would also show stage choreography to the cast by performing stage fighting and demonstrating how to climb mountains .

when scenes required some skill in mountaineering to scale scenography of a mountain .

also noteworthy within the programme is pappano filming the interior of ludwig ii 's palace revealing the neo-gothic and richly coloured interior design alongside panoramic paintings of scenes from wagner 's ring cycle .

the palace of richard wagner 's patron is usually ignored in documentaries in favour if focusing exclusively on the bayreuth opera house .

pappano returned to conducting the ring for the royal opera house , london in october 2012 .

it is 200 years since the birth of richard wagner and in honour of this antonio pappano , music director at the royal opera house , presents his own guide to the vast ring cycle .
celebrating the bicentenary of richard wagner’s birth , sir antonio pappano presents a 60 - minute documentary which seeks to unravel the genius of wagner’s ring cycle , one of the towering achievements of opera and a work which has challenged producers , conductors and performers alike , since its inception .
the most epic of all operas , wagner ' s ring , provided a musical feast for sameer rahim .
through interviews with performers , including bass - baritone bryn terfel , soprano susan bullock and bass sir john tomlinson , and exclusive behind - the - scenes footage of royal opera house rehearsals , pappano shows us the story of wagner’s ring as told by the performers .
what’s really fascinating about the ring , though , is that the wonderful music is allied to the drama . apologies to any serious wagnerians ( i know you’re out there and willing to pounce ! ) but this is a first - timer’s very rough approximation of what the ring is about .
( part 1 ) a unique distillation of wagner’s epic ring cycle , bringing the true wagner experience , including his “ideal orchestra” , original instruments , and rich story and characters to the concert hall for all audiences to experience . part one includes das rheingold and die walküre .

to celebrate the bicentenary of wagner ' s birth , sir antonio pappano , the charismatic music director of the royal opera house , guides us through the epic composition which changed opera and the theatre for ever - the ring of the nibelungen . pappano shares his insights into wagner ' s music and the mythical world the composer created , visiting the extraordinary theatre at bayreuth which was created for its performance . he also explores the life of richard wagner the man - the political , cultural and social forces that influenced him - and shows how the composer ' s personal convictions and experiences can be seen within the ring cycle . filmed in germany and it features expert comment from artists who took part in the recent production of the ring at the royal opera house directed by keith warner , including bryn terfel , sir john tomlinson , susan bullock and sarah connolly . duration : 1 hour , 30 minutes
this is a very well done introduction to the ring cycle by conductor and narrator here antonio pappano . in an hour and a half , he explains the whole story with excerpts from a production by the royal opera with bryn terfel as wotan . the singing is fine , but the production is awful ! ugly costumes and bizarre sets ! a better production to highlight the cycle would have been preferred . another case of eurotrash ! i am still giving this disc 5 stars , although i should remove one star for the production value .

wagner wrote : “the course of the drama thus shows the necessity of accepting and giving way to the changeableness , the diversity , the multiplicity , the eternal newness of reality and of life . ” this is most true of the music . though it’s not that hard to recognise the themes that mark the main objects – gold , ring , spear – they undergo subtle transformation as the series progresses . at the theatre i got chatting to one experienced ring - watcher ( this was his 11th ! ) who claimed that for him the cycle really got going in act three of siegfried – composed years after the previous act – when the musical motifs flow into one another with beguiling fluidity .
* der ring des nibelungen is at the royal opera house , london wc2 ( 020 7304 4000 ; roh . org . uk ) from sept 24 to nov 2 .
three forces animate the ring . firstly there is unlimited power exemplified by the ring forged from the gold stolen by the nibelung dwarf alberich from the taunting rhinemaidens . he uses this to enslave his brother mime ( one of my favourite characters , played with vituperative energy here by gerhard siegel ) and the other dwarves . the second force is that of contractual obligation represented by wotan’s spear , which he made from an ancient ash tree and on which are carved legal symbols .
what follows is a list of full ring cycles in 2018 . as always details may change , or we may have made an error . please check with each . . .
last week i spent seven days immersed in wagner - land watching keith warner’s production at covent garden . while cooking the dinner or putting out the washing , i wasn’t able to stop wotan’s stately but sad valhalla motif or siegfried’s horn music running round my head . “rhinegold ! rhinegold ! ” i heard the maidens sing while walking past a canal and the valkyries hojotoho - ing on the bus . such was the music’s grip i found it hard to sleep ; at one point it was sending me a bit mad .
lets hope it is a little less
one - sided
and
idiosyncratic
than the last bbc radio 3 wagner documentary . but given that we hear pappano is something of a wagner
fan
, and that he certainly has the background to have a clear understanding of wagner and his work , we have much hope .

i wasn’t exactly in love with warner’s production . rheingold was a bit cluttered and the blocking too busy ; turning alberich into a necrophilia - obsessed dr mengele also seemed pointless ; and the symbols – chess board , hour - glass – were clichéd . i did , however , like the crashed plane in siegfried ( wotan literally brought down to earth ) . the tarnhelm as a monochrome rubik cube was baffling at first but worked well as the same design for gunther’s house in götterdämmerung – that place of spooky malleability . among the singers i liked bryn terfel’s brooding wotan – a bit tony soprano – and john tomlinson as hunding / hagen , a clever bit of doubling . right at the end the conductor sir antonio pappano and the whole orchestra came on stage for the curtain call : they got the deserved standing ovation .
although richard strauss’s der rosenkavalier had already been performed in são paulo before , first by a visiting german theatre on tour in 1959 and 10 year . . .
filmed in london , bayreuth , bavaria and switzerland , pappano presents a unique insight into the story of this masterpiece from the people who perform it . in particular , he shares his insights into the extraordinary theatre at bayreuth , exploring what it shows us about the theatrical world wagner wanted to create . with expert comment from artists who appeared in the recent royal opera house production of the ring , including bryn terfel , susan bullock and sir john tomlinson , the programme includes rehearsal footage from each of the four operas and performance from the 2005 - 7 production staged by keith warner .

the ring and the spear : two symbols , one feminine , one masculine , both crafted from nature . one is associated with the dwarf alberich and one with the god wotan . seeming opposites they are linked by the third force , one that gradually takes over the ring and the one alberich has to reject to gain the gold : love . love creates an un - coercive bond between people that goes beyond mere obligation . sieglinde from the second opera in the cycle , die walkure , for example , is stuck in a loveless marriage to hunding , which she rebels against by running off with siegmund . you can hardly blame her , especially when in this production hunding ( played by a superb john tomlinson ) keeps her in a jane eyre - style red room .

love , though , is both a delirious and destabilising force . as wotan’s wife fricka ( a powerful sarah connolly ) points out you can’t have people just breaking their marriage vows at will . that the lovers are the bastard twins of her cheating husband doesn’t exactly endear them to her either . we’re reminded that the whole reason wotan stole the ring from alberich in das rheingold is because he needed it to pay the giants for valhalla – the gilded cage fricka wanted to prevent her husband breaking his marriage vows .

what some people regard as the greatest opera ever written begins with a building contract gone wrong . that might seem a prosaic way of putting it but despite its grand scale wagner’s ring of the nibelung – which comprises three long operas and a shorter prelude , and which the composer gestated for 23 years before it was performed in 1876 – portrays a familiar human conflict between obligation and desire . when the god wotan tries to wriggle out of paying the giants who have built his castle valhalla , a chain of events leads to the eventual destruction of the gods . through the 15 hours of mesmerising music and argument wagner explores the obligations we have to one other , and our secret desire to throw off those obligations – even at the cost of our world collapsing .
the genius isn’t in the text , though , but in the music . take one example . the valkyrie brünnhilde is wotan’s daughter and servant . under pressure from his wife , he orders her not to help siegmund in his battle with hunding , but she disobeys him . “this love in my heart which bound me to the walsung [ ie siegmund ] made me flout your command , ” she sings alongside a ravishing motif . in punishment he ties her to a rock surrounded by protective fire . “he who fears my spear - point shall never pass through this fire , ” he sings with authoritative anger . yet under his voice the delicate magic fire music lulls his daughter to sleep – thus betraying his real sadness . he has stripped brünnhilde of her godlike status and for the rest of the cycle the attention shifts to the human world . wotan now appears only as “the wanderer” , his power muted yet far more sympathetic that the selfish god of das rheingold .

if all this sounds like a dry legal dispute it is far from that . drawing on the tragic conflicts in greek tragedy ( think aeschylus’ oresteia ) , wagner also has conflicted characters with irregular passions that remind you of shakespeare ( especially king lear . )
take the sinister theme associated with the tarnhelm – the magic helmet that allows its wearer to transform into anything . in rheingold , rather comically , the dwarf alberich uses it to transform into a dragon and a toad . by götterdämmerung , though , the same theme is heard when siegfried enters the house of gunter and becomes a stranger to himself . the theme itself has been transformed to mark an emotional metamarphosis . dozens of other example have been explored by musicologists such as deryck cooke , whose lecture on the rings motifs is well worth downloading .

i love living in dublin , it’s an extremely nice suburb ! the neighborhood i am in is extremely friendly and you get to know all your neighbors . historic dublin is really nice and has a lot of food places to eat ! the night life ends a little early but that’s because it’s so family oriented . the schools are very highly rated . dublin is only about 20 minutes from downtown columbus and easton town center which are two common areas people like to go . there are many good restaurants and they just opened a new area that has bars and other things to do , apartments are there as well so it is literally it’s own community .

buddies
and there & apos ; s an amazing dog walking company here ( dogewalk . com ) that gives my boy 2 walks a day at a great price ! great schools , huge park , dog fun . . . what else is there !

wild season is a farming simulation game , inspired by the likes of harvest moon , animal crossing , rune factory and thousand arms . although it shares many of the same concepts and mechanics , wild season differentiates itself in its approach to these same ideas .
wild season is being developed by quickfire games , a small but passionate & dedicated team of game developer veterans based out of the philippines .

arrow season 6 remains something of a mystery , given the series will finally graduate beyond its five - year flashback format , but stay tuned for the final episodes of season 5 in the meantime .
as if arrow wasn’t already making big plans for the season 5 finale , season 6 is starting to shape up . looks like we’ll have two canaries on the block next year , and a wild dog to chase after both , as juliana harkavy and rick gonzalez will be back full - time next year .
relationship values : subverted . wild season will make use of a more complex system that more accurately portrays real - life relationships , with characters being turned off by players being too attentive , or not attentive enough .
harkavy’s addition in particular comes as relief , given that season 6 already confirmed katie cassidy would return to her series regular role as laurel lance . not the laurel lance killed off in season 4 , mind you , but the villainous earth - 2 “black siren” introduced on the flash , who resurfaced on arrow in season 5 .
the cw confirms that both gonzalez and harvavy has been made season 6 regulars in their roles as rene “wild dog” ramirez and dinah drake . gonzalez first appeared in the season 5 premiere , while walking dead alum harkavy arrived at midseason as the canary cry - ing “tina boland , ” who was later revealed to share the comic canary name of dinah drake .

the identities of the host and musical guest planned for saturday night live & apos ; s season 42 premiere are still mysteries , but there will be at least three confirmed new faces beside the likes of kate mckinnon and vanessa bayer .

the unscripted series’ promo , which is exclusive to us , offers a peek at the ups and downs for returning cast members mary , abe , rebecca , sabrina , jeremiah and carmela . ( kate will not appear in season 4 . )
wild season has been a labour of love of the team over the past few months . to this point i have been personally funding the development of the game and its assets , with a little help from my dad . unfortunately my funds are running out , and i can no longer afford to support my passionate team and their families . we are confident that we can make a truly awesome game , and want to continue working on this full time , with no distractions . we hope with the support of kickstarter we can do this .

developing a game is very much like a car . although all cars get you from point a to point b , the experience between a coupe and a sports car is very different . the same can be applied to game development . whilst with our current goal we feel we can make a great wild season . however engines can always be better & more detailed , stories can have more depth , & characters more stories . in other words , surpassing our initial funding goal does not necessarily mean there will be more features , but rather we will make the existing features even bigger and better !

inspired by harvest moon games . we aim to bring an immersive farming experience focused on story , relationships and more .
the game revolves around the main character ( you ) , suddenly coming into posession of a farm in a far away town , and the story of how you repair , build and expand it . however along the way you will experience the many distractions , including friends , enemies , love , heartbreak , marriage , winning , losing , discover some mysteries , and perhaps even discover the meaning of true evil .
this is a concept only . the actual farm will be several times larger . especially the farming area
a detailed and intricately crafted world that you can explore , experience and enjoy .
8 bachelors and / or bachelorettes for you to woo , romance and marry .
build relationships with characters that you can believe . make friends , and loved ones , or enemies and crazy exes with our custom built relationship engine : the friend - zone engine .
turn your newly acquired decrepit farm into one of the region ' s top farm .
multiple story - lines , relationships and choices for you to explore , ranging from a mature emotional roller coaster , to downright slapstick .
make choices that change the world around you . make your way into the town council and make decisions about where to take your town .
discover the deep dark secret of your town , why it will cause worlds to collide , and decide what you will do with that knowledge .
take part in part - time jobs to help build relationships , and fill your wallet in the early days .
stop for a drink at the bar after a long day ' s work to socialize . who knows what you might learn ! ( especially on quiz - night ! )
cooking & baking variety . lots of recipe ' s and way ' s to make a dish . compete locally , regionally and nationally to become the nations best cook / baker !
character driven story - telling approach . each character has a history , internal conflicts , issues and distinct personalities .
a more mature undertone : unlike other games of this genre , we want characters to be deep , compelling and relatable . as such we have decided to take a slightly more mature approach with our storytelling , with characters having to deal with a range of issues , ranging from drinking problems to crisis of concience .
its not just about making friends : its not about achieving the highest level of friendship with everyone in the town to achieve rewards . if you just dont like a particular character you can make them your enemy !
off - duty activities : whilst running and mantaining the farm is important , we are also focusing strongly on activities available to the player when not on the farm , including activities ( like dating , mystery solving , spying , learning to cook ) , jobs , entertainment & more social options . ( with farm automation options later in the game to make it easier for those who get bored with the same routine after a few years ) .
contextual relationship building : npc ' s will notice when you come out for drinks in the evening , if you ' re antisocial , or when you barge into their houses and rooms at odd hours off the night ( and when you do it too much ! ) , or begin to stalk them .
political system : join the town council and help shape the direction of your town .
use of technology . use evolving technologies ( tv / cellphones , etc ) to help manage and automate your farms & relationships .
dog & horse racing . breed dogs & horses for races ( yes more than one ) .
the main character ( you ) lives in the big city ! however due to some unfortunate circumstances you have lost your home and most of your possessions to the mafia . on your way home you pass by a realtor , and you see an amazing deal on an old farm not too far away . with no home and little chance to find somewhere else in the city you see this as a fresh start ! an opportunity to get away from it all . you empty out your bank account , sell what remaining possessions you need to , and you buy the farm !
however its not all smiles and roses , getting to the farm is not as easy as it seems , and when you arrive , the townsfolk are friendly but distant , the town seems to hide a secret , there is a dark feeling coming from the forest . . .
we initially intend to launch on pc / mac / linux as well as ios and android versions . however based on the success of our kickstarter we are eyeing having the game also available on other mobile platforms like blackberry & windows phone ( and a windows 8 touch friendly version ) as well as consoles and handheld consoles ( including ps vita , 3ds , xbox & ps indie channels ) . the spread of the game to other platforms is primarily dependent on achieving a funding goal higher than our initial goal .
we have structured our development process so that we can scale it up based on how much support we receive for the game . we have additional bachelors , bachelorettes , story lines , crops , animals , and different approaches for our engines , that require more time and programmers . we want to make the best possible game that we can and we want to put as much towards that as we can .
we ' re also looking at physical deliverables for backers , as well as expanding our publishing reach into more platforms such as the ps vita , xbox one , ps4 & nintendo ecosystems and as part of our stretch plans .
we will be publishing our stretch goals over the coming days in one of the updates .
the challenge is to make a truly awesome , exciting and memorable experience , however as with any software projects , there are any number of issues that could lead to delays . despite that , combined with our extensive experience in development , we have done our best to plan for any issues that come up .
everyone on the team has had experience in development . almost everyone in the team has come from a combination of software and game development backgrounds . we know what its like to ship products , and we have an excellent idea of what can cause problems and delays . the trick is to stay organized and keep going . ( and inform your backers of course )
come what may we are truly passionate about developing this . and we really hope you can help us along our dream to make a great studio by continuing to produce great games , that we ' re passionate about !

anybody know anything is this game just not gonna be finished ? i liked the game i tried it out , but i do agree it had alot of bugs although i felt it had some good potential . i liked it more than stardew valley but i guess i ' ll try stardew again in the me . . .
as usual , post any bugs here ! we do have google docs which does show your bug reports in the bug report form as with general feedback and keyboard feedback . urltoken is the bug report form general feedback : https : / / docs . . .
so i like many people bought this game a few years back , hoping to see what the finished product would be . but we didn ' t get one . i also tried to get a refund for it and couldn ' t . i ' m quite upset that they abandoned this game and ran away with the money . . .
i was doing the last interpol show from our last record , in ireland i think , and she was on the side of the stage . when i walked off stage , she said that she was a fan and she’d really enjoyed the show . i got her contact info that day and reached out about having her take part in the project . we sent her a couple tracks , we settled on a song , and we did it remotely , but it was really fun actually just talking to her about what the lyrics should be about . she sent me the lyrics that she’d written , we talked about those , she sent me another pass , and i was absolutely fucking floored . she just killed that song . even though she wasn’t there in the studio with us , i feel like nothing was lost because there was just great communication and a great dynamic with her .
