I finally got around to watching this very thoughtful video essay on Richard Wagner by the brilliant actor and Wagner lover Stephen Fry (currently in theaters now as the Master of Laketown in the Hobbit, also he had a run in London as NYC as Malvolio in 12th Night - I have seen both and he is terrific - he is the best thing about the 12th Night (otherwise I didnt like that production)). Anyway - this is interesting. He deals quite openly and honestly with the difficult subject of Wagners anti-semitism and appropriation by the Nazis and the discussion the Tristan is really outstanding. https://youtube/watch?v=sSpbNav-xCA
