Haha, brilliant! I assume there must have been a chinese jarl as well?
My wife gets very annoyed when they populate historical dramas with
black,
yellow or red people who have no business appearing in 17:th century
europe at the top of society.

But, but...  I have the DVD set of James Levine's Ring Cycle at the
Metropolitan Opera in '89. Jessye Norman has the Sieglinde and somehow
didn't look like Siegmund's twin. Opera at least has the excuse that you
need someone who can sing. Hildegard Behrens played Brünnhilde and while
she did her best one of the criticisms was she was a bit long in the tooth
for the role.

Levine has a few cameos on the DVD and looked greasy. I wasn't surprised
when he was fired over allegations he had abused some young men.

 

What about lord of the rings? Have there poped up versions with chinese
trans elves yet?

Amazon's 'Rings of Power' does have someone who isn't exactly a Light Elf.

I haven't watched it but it didn't get very good reviews. The kindest say
the scenery is beautiful but the acting stunk.
