Sing Faster: The Stagehands' Ring Cycle - The Story

Sing Faster: The Stagehands' Ring Cycle

I watched Sing Faster last night. It's been around for a while, but I only recently found out about it. If you want to see a lot of opera, this isn't the movie for you. If you want to get a taste of what happens backstage (and on stage) during rehearsals and performances then you should check it out. Also, the stagehands have a great way of explaining the complex story of The Ring so that anyone can understand it (sort of). Despite all the hi-tech "Mission Control" aspects of the production, it still takes a lot of people moving a lot of wood, metal and foam from here to there. It's amazing that things go as well as they do. Well, except the smoke. It seems that no one can control the smoke.

You probably won't find it at your local video store, but if you have Netflix, click here to add it to your queue.
