My tickets are for "Die Walkure" in S.F. Hopefully Nietzsche will whisper in my ear and make the music endurable, otherwise it will not be. Meanwhile, this discussion reminds of the lurking question of why Nietzsche broke with Wagner. Was it over the nerve-shattering music that destroyed his health? Parsifal's sell-out to Christianity? The "malignancy" of Wagner's old age? Or something else? What was "the offense"? --- from list nietzsche-AT-jefferson.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
