I have listened. I do not particularly care for opera. That doesn't mean I
don't know how to listen to music. I just prefer other kinds of music. I grew
up on Bach and chamber music and Mozart, and, oddly, American Swing and Blues.
When I played the piano, I preferred to skip the Romantics, even though I love
Romantic literature. Wagner doesn't do it for me. I'm glad he does it for you,
and when you were telling about your childhood, you sounded wonderful, human,
and genuine. a

That's right, saying "Gesamtkunstwerk" doesn't do
the trick. You have to actually listen to the
operas.
