re: #132 Dr Lizardo

LOL.

I’ve seen Wagner’s Ring Cycle in its entirety. I don’t mind opera, personally, if it’s good. I owe that one to my ex-wife, who scored the tickets to see it; she was a big opera buff.

Perhaps the one thing I did enjoy, and it’s because of the movie “Excalibur” is Siegfried’s Funeral March from ‘Gtterdmmerung’. In “Excalibur” it was used to beautiful effect.

my favorite wagner is the ‘liebestod’ from tristan and isolde

my favorite joke about wagner

“Wagner has wonderful moments, and dreadful quarters of an hour”

- rossini

[edit: that’s Gioachino Rossini]
