Movie Reviews of Sing Faster - The Stagehands' Ring Cycle
Movie Review: A WORD OF DISSENT!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am truly amazed that the folks who have written such positive reviews of this DVD enjoyed it so much. But as someone who bought SING FASTER entirely on their recommendations, may I warn any prospective buyers that this DVD falls somewhere between the level of back-stage "home-movies" and a one hour Reality Show consisting of stage-hands playing cards and watching TV during tech rehearsals of THE RING. If either of these things sounds "hilarious" to you [or worth $24!], go for it. But I would suggest renting it on Netflix before parting with your hard-earned dollars. But I agree that - if you enjoy opera - yes, you should own Anna Russell's CD and/or her FAREWELL CONCERT DVD (which includes a live performance of her wonderful 'Condensed RING')!
