MusicalPlusz 80.

Idén ünnepli 40. évfordulóját a magyar animáció egyik legfényesebb ékköve, a Macskafogó. Ternovszky Béla és Nepp József zseniális alkotása az évtizedek alatt kultuszfilmmé vált, szállóigéi és karakterei beépültek a mindennapjainkba.

Mozart was insatiably in love with life. He embraced everything considered “sinful”: wine, cards, billiards. And his passion extended to musical ornaments: flowery acciaccaturas, trills, cadences others dared not risk, and chromatic runs. But there can be no doubt the main objects of his desire were women. He dedicated several of his masterpieces to one or other of his lovers, who were thus immortalised by these concert and opera arias.

There can hardly be imagined in our time a work that conveys a more important message to humanity, as it debates the possible fate of the earth, about threats to the natural environment than Götterdämmerung does. Perhaps there is still time for us to return the ring to the Rhinemaidens.
