Okay but the decline in quality of vbw productions occurred after they did Rudolf Affaire Mayerling and correlation may not equal causation but I'm just saying
#leading to the desire to portay hyper romanticisation in all their productions#leading to the frequent casting of mark seibert because the vbw view him as this manly man romantic figure#im not saying he is or isnt just i think thats how hes viewed#and you end up with#nannerls role mostly removed because it was about her and her brothers relatuonship and not romance or masculinity#sarah pushed into a romantic ideal that does not fit her original characterisation#and rudolf sidelined. given appalling staging (ikea table). and eventually denied his kiss in favour of a single het romance#without the orig depression/ideation metaphors that went with der tod#am i really saying this is affaire mayerlings fault#no#but i think it shows the trend towards single central romance in vbw shows#in a simplified way#tanz der vampire#mozart das musical#elisabeth das musical#tbf i dont think theyve done this to rebecca
