Oh yeah, I hate opera too. But this is just the music, no words.

I understand your reticence re Wagner's work. It is a bit of a tough one, and it's hard to separate politics from music, especially when you bring in the Nazis. Still, in fairness, Wagner was a hundred years dead before Hitler came to power, so I'm not sure you can blame him for one madman's interest in, and patronage of, his music?
