The genius of Wagner: Parsifal and Tannhauser

The Royal Opera's director, Antonio Pappano, presents a remarkable talk on Wagner's final opera, Parsifal. Parsifal was also Wagner's "religious" work, and deserves - as with all his music - serious listening. 





The following is a performance in Rome of  Wagner before Pope Benedict XVI.

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
