Right, well, Seattle Opera has now announced the details of its 2013 Ring Cycle, which means I can now point out to you that The Tenor In My Life will once again be their Siegmund. I've been excited about this for a while now: I've only seen YouTube snippets of the Seattle production but it looks gorgeous, and I know Ring-devotees in Australia who rave about it as one of the best. Plus, you know, TTIML is pretty good at this Wagner lark.
So, here, by way of a shameless plug is the video trailer for Seattle's 2009 Walküre. The first minute is my favourite bit, can't think why...
...and while I'm at it, I'll also point out that Seattle Opera's website has stacks of information, photos and even audio clips attached to many of the returning cast members' names (recorded during the 2009 cycle). And of course I'll particularly draw your attention to this bio, which includes an "Ein Schwert verhiess mir der Vater" that you simply gotta hear. Yeah, I know, I'm so unbiased. But seriously, that "Wälse" goes on forever.
