That was the least despair I've encountered in 2:53 of a Herzog film. Bravo.

Nope. Not at all. And if I WERE a singer, I wouldn't just lip-sync all the music I listen to on earphones at work as I wouldn't fear public stoning. (Also, not a boomer.)

This was great. Love the lighting.
The clip brought to mind 'Sing Faster: The Stagehands Ring Cycle', a documentary about the work literally behind the scenes of such a production*; I've only watched some low quality clips on YouTube but I find it fascinating and fun.
