Sing Faster, The Stagehand's Ring Cycle (2012)
written produced and directed by Jon Else
run time 55 mins
IMDb /tt0181817
Cast: San Francisco Opera and company
Summary:
A spirited and comical behind-the-scenes look at Richard Wagner's beloved Ring Cycle. This award-winning film takes audiences inside one of the most spectacular and ambitious operas in history - through the point of view of the stagehands.
My Notes
Four Operas, seventeen hours: Sing Faster.
When I asked my library to get this from seeing it mentioned in an unrelated book, I gravitated toward the title. I made the request for what I saw as those who love opera and those who may know nothing of it. That, and the work of stagehands in general.
In this 55 minute documentary the viewer gets a good sense of what the profession of stagecraft is. It's a worthy profession. And, as the show points out, you might get to date a Rhine maiden. It's just an example. My torrent files of plays from NTLive include many instances of professional women working backstage as well.
Sing Faster is not the first making- of .... theatre documentary in my collection. "Wonders Are Many" on the Making of the opera "Dr. Atomic" is one, "Wagner's Dream: The Making of the Ring Cycle" (that one was at the Met) is another. They are standalone dvd's available through the usual sources as well as the file shares.
These documents of the life of the theatre behind the scenes could be in every high school as well as library collection. As always, I suggest you get them for your own libraries for all to enjoy and get inspiration.
