Click opera - Singing, Ringing Tree |
 | | This was indeed a strange and magical series, a saga filled with malevolent dwarves, sea monsters, hump-backed bridges, unicorns, princesses and the singing tree of the title. |
 | | There was some unease in East Germany with the fact that The Singing, Ringing Tree -- with its princes and princesses, unicorns and dwarves -- wasn't simple propaganda for the socialist lifestyle. |
 | | Is it really important that Singing, Ringing Tree originated in a different time, a different political and financial structure and was made in a different language (the original German could still be heard when it was transmitted in Britain, with a man's voice narrating events and dialogue, which added to the already-strong verfremdungseffekt)? |
