Wagner’s masterful aria, ‘Morgenlich leuchtend’ is found in Act 3, Scene 2 of the opera. Known in English as “Walter’s Prize Song”, the aria works on two levels because the tenor is not only singing to the audience, but the character Walter is singing in a competition.

I’ve never been a Wagnerite, so I am selecting the one Wagner passage I do know very well: Brünnhilde’s Immolation Scene from “Götterdämmerung.” Years ago an opera buddy of mine made me a mix-tape of about 10 different diva recordings of this piece as a way to lure me into a more evolved appreciation of Wagner. The strategy worked to the extent tha...
Picking a favorite moment in a Wagner opera? Interesting, because, in my opinion, Wagner’s works are filled with amazing moments. The unique power and beauty in his operas is probably what led to the passion so many had for this “Music of the Future.” But for me, there is indeed one to single out: theGood Friday scenein Act three of “Parsifal,” whe...
If I would have to choose a single moment from Wagner’s operas to listen to everyday of my life, it would be “Inbrunst im Herzen, wie kein Büsser noch” from the third act of “Tannhäuser.” First of all, this aria requires an extremely well-developed and flexible dramatic tenor voice. The range is wide, the sound is very intense. In this scene, the t...

It is the moment following Parsifal’s confrontation with the Magician, and when he realizes and acknowledges his actual power. The moment is cumulative, o...
If an intellectual titan such as Friedrich Nietzsche couldn’t make up his mind about Richard Wagner, what chance is there for mere mortals? Even though Rossini quipped that Wagner had “wonderful moments but dreadful quarter hours” there could be no more supremely glorious 15 minutes of music than the close of his Bühnenweihfestspiel “Parsifal.” Fro...
I have two favorite moments in Wagner. One shows how Wagner’s harmony speaks; the other graphically illustrates for me the meaning of Music Drama. First, harmony: In Act two of “Die Walküre,” Brünnhilde comes to tell Siegmund he will die in the duel with Hunding the next day. But Siegmund is not downhearted as long as he will see his beloved in Ete...
