Wagner's Rienzi Overture



As Parsifal was the last piece Wagner wrote, Rienzi Overture is the earliest most recognizable piece that he wrote. Isn't it a wonderful work.....thrilling and majestic! I hope you like this, Raul!

Wagner at Bayreuth!



Having witnessed this glorious opera performed at Bayreuth in 1977, I can testify that Parsifal should be performed ONLY at the Wagner Festspielhaus. This is my very favorite opera of all time!!! I visited the grave and Haus Wahnfried where I paid my respects to this great German master. I adore Wagner!!
