Wagner's Dream

in year 2002 I examined a professional singer with a minor complaint
regarding her voice
evaluation included fiberoptic endoscope use with color real time pics and
video close ups of vocal cords

the perfection of her vocal cord motion stunned me-- unequaled in my 36 years
as a throat specialist ---turns out the Metropolitan Opera must have concurred
-she is on the full time soprano list and scheduled to lead a one month production in spring
2015--her male counterpart--Placido Domingo

so I watched a two hour documentary of the journey the Met took to produce Wagner's Ring Cycle
3 years ago-- much of the 16 million usd spent went into a 90,000 lb multi axis cnc stage set
unlike anything previously produced---the mix of the human factor and robotics will hold your attention

here are two clips--the first a trailer of the Metropolitan documentary ---Wagner's Dream
