I get to recycle my answer from upthread for this one! > [@Smapti](#): > > Who is Nick Wilde? 1. Disney portrayed this folk hero as an anthropomorphic fox in a 1973 feature film And as an aside; > [@SunUp](#): > > What is _Das Rheingold_? I saw Rheingold live in Seattle just yesterday, first time seeing a Wagner play. The Seattle Opera has performed the entire Ring several times over the years, but this year’s show was a stand-alone production based on one staged in Minneapolis a few years ago. The orchestra was on the stage (originally because the theater in Minneapolis didn’t have a pit large enough for a Wagner-sized orchestra) and the pit was instead used to depict the Rhine and Nibelheim, while a catwalk above the stage represented Asgard. The costumes had a sci-fi theme to them, with the immortals all being part machine - Donner has a robot arm, Wotan’s missing eye is mechanical, Fasolt and Fafner are cyborgs who appear in Asgard via hologram, and so on. Great show, but 2 1/2 hours with no intermission is a lot of German music to take in and I felt the second scene dragged on for longer than it needed to. ---
