Oh Angela, you can do better than this. You say of Wagner's librettos, They were used as Nazi propaganda, and they were written with that at least partially in mind. Wagner died in 1883, before Hitler was even born, so how could Wagner possibly write operas with Nazi propaganda in mind? It's true

Off, you are being uncharacteristically rude for a Brit. I agree with you that America is going down a slippery slope towards fascism. I've seen it coming since the mid sixties when there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and there was no way you could ever have said anything like it to an American

There are no historians who see the similarities between the TMO and fascism that I know of. The TMO is just too small for historians to notice it. Maybe at some later date, there will be some more formal investigation of this idea. I do know, however, that I am by no means the only observer

FWIW, with reference to the thread title: While Wagner's librettos don't stand on their own as poetry, they were never intended to. Wagner's ideal of opera was what he called the Gesamtkunstwerk, the together-art-work, or synthesis of the arts, in which all the various artistic elements--words,

There is a big difference between calling a person you are sharing a forum with stupid and calling a libretto stupid. I do not like Wagner's librettos. I am aware that he was into Gesamtkunstwerk, and I have read all of them. Hell, I've even gone to see some of them performed at the Bayreuth

Yes, you are definitely right about Wagner's dates. But his works were used for Nazi propaganda because they lent themselves to that so easily. But I should add, too, that though fascism is possible in any country, the flavor that it took in Germany was obviously distinctly German, and it
