Fun with Wagner 😀
(A little rivalry?…)
“Mr. Wagner has beautiful moments, but bad quarters of an hour.” —Gioacchino Antonio Rossini
“Parzifal [written by Wagner] is an opera which starts at 5:30 and, when you look at your watch three hours later, it says 5:45.” —Puccini
“Butterfly or Boheme [two operas written by Puccini], I can’t tell them apart.” –Wagner
“To me Tristan is and remains a wonder! I shall never be able to understand how I could have written anything like it.” –Wagner
And, finally…
“Wagner’s music is better than it sounds.” —Mark Twain
