Scoop: Barrie Kosky to direct 2023 London Ring
mainWe heard it from Sir Antonio Pappano, in a Spectator interview that comes out today.
Pappano, who is meant to be leaving Covent Garden that year, will stay on at least long enough to work with the self-styled ‘gay Jewish kangaroo’ Kosky, whom he calls ‘a good egg’.
More later.
So that’s why he’s called “Baroness”…
According to Wiki, he calls himself “”gay Jewish kangaroo””
We once endured a Kosky Walküre in which Sieglinde served Siegmund and her husband Chinese take-away (in little white boxes) around an ash tree of green slime. Well done, ROH!
What’s not to like?
Did you get jealous because you were hungry? That’s always a risk when sitting through a Ring.
Well at least he’s got off his Nibelungentreue to the ghastly Keith Warner
I don’t know why this Australian embarrassment ever got a gig in the first place. He’s totally uncouth. But, there’s no accounting for taste….
Not in Handel’s Saul at Glyndebourne! That was epochmaking
Well, that is news, Normanno, and I’m inclined to think good news!
Here’s a trailer for a “Siegfried” that Kosky directed in Hannover in 2011:

(Siegfried in a Superman costume, Alberich in blackface, Mime as a gay Jew, etc.)
Another production that will be all director and no composer. How about no lights and we sit in the dark? That should sell tickets.
