Wagner and today's politics.
If he had not been involved in Nazi propaganda, insulting his memory, someone would now remember his criticism of the absolute power of rulers who kill their own children or sell an eye like Wotan, the leader of the gods, in order to remain in power.
Analyzing the development of the story of The Ring of the Nibelung from the right perspective, that of a writer who attended anarchist meetings and risked arrest when Bakunin was captured by German agents, it seems like we are living the current history of today's powerful figures. Everyone presents themselves as unbeatable, but they are limited not only by their sexual urges, but also by their lust for power, their fear of losing authority, and the conventions they impose on themselves, which force them to commit acts of self-harm as well as ruin innocent people.
Reread the libretto, written and set to music entirely by Wagner, of the four operas and you will have an interesting surprise.
