Leave your thoughts about Wagner's Dream.
| Toronto StarJohn TeraudsA two-hour documentary that has as many hair-raising, stomach-churning moments as a ride on Wonderland's new Leviathan. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyWhat Froemke's film does - or at least did for this Wagner novice - is prompt the urgent itch to see Lepage's take on the Ring, see another, and gain the confidence to judge first-hand. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibTension flows organically from every phase of this dangerous endeavor, making for a highly entertaining outing for operaphiles and operaphobes alike. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerIt remains a rousing portrait of creative renewal and, specifically, the way in which - by attempting something daring and new in the face of an opera culture deeply invested in tradition - Lepage proves that classic art can survive and flourish in a marriage with modern technology and imagination. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe result is an engrossing chronicle of creative people under pressure, a movie about the madness of opera for which no knowledge of opera is required for full enjoyment. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenAwesome also describes this 16-hour, four-opera masterwork about the creation and destruction of the world, a work that Wagner considered unstageable in his time. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeRising well above the typical making-of feature, the documentary will fascinate buffs when shown alongside the operas themselves. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenRichard Wagner would be overjoyed to see a production of his Ring cycle staged in a manner that was impossible in the 19th Century. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThe finished "Ring" cycle, a combination of "myth, science and legend" made to order as Wagner imagined it, was unique to every viewer's eye. The making of it will be spellbinding to everyone. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranYou don't need to be a fan of Wagner, or even opera, to find this a fascinating glimpse of a dauntingly complex human endeavor. |
