The idea of a connected series of operas, or of films, is not unheard of, but it is (at least until recently) very rare in the case of films and extremely rare in the case of operas.<\/p>\n<p>The huge project of <em>Der Ring des Nibelungen<\/em> consists of four great (and three of them: long) operas, thematically connected and conceived as a single work &#8211; encompassing 15 or 16 hours of music and scenic action. This singular project was realised after years of planning and work. In the whole literature of important operas, through the whole of the history of music, there is nothing remotely like this project when it comes to temporal dimensions and ambitiousness of scope.<\/p>\n<p>The project of <em>Star Wars<\/em> was originally conceived as a series of nine films (nonology), was soon realized as a trilogy, and is now, after years of planning and work, in the process of becoming a hexalogy (six films). Film trilogies (or longer series) are rare, and although they exist (<em>The Godfather, Alien<\/em>) they are almost never originally conceived, planned and realized as a thematic and narrative whole. The rule is more often that new films are added according to the expectation of more profit. A film series like <em>Star Wars<\/em> with ultimately six movies \u2013 encompassing maybe around 12 or 14 hours of film, must be unique at least in the context of major films.<\/p>\n<p>Both the <em>Ring<\/em> and the <em>Star Wars<\/em> series share the unique positions in their respective media of projecting a thematic and narrative continuity over unprecedentedly long spans of time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.je-b.de\/mtblog\/\">cyclad-z<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sch\u00f6ne Website \u00fcber Richard Wagner, auf der unter anderem die Gemeinsamkeiten vom Ring des Nibelungen zu Star Wars beschrieben werden, zum Beispiel rein thematisch die verschiedenen Welten, die uns zu Beginn des Werks nicht genauer erkl\u00e4rt werden, die \u00e4hnliche Grundidee des Kampfes zwischen Macht und Liebe, der Vater-Sohn-Konflikt, das magische Schwert usw.
