If you haven't already listened to the whole Ring Cycle with full attention to the libretto, you should leave this place and never come back.

There are plenty of socialist and Marxist takes on Wagner. Everyone wants to claim him as one of their own.

Try listening to the first scene of the Ring cycle while reading the libretto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjP7R0UQjGE

Middle period- Tannhaueser, Lohengrin- checking in. Wagner's /lit/ because he (almost an anomaly) wrote his own very fine librettos.

I don't hate Wagner; he's objectively good. He's just not literature.

>>11398466
By this logic Tarantino is /lit/ because he writes his own dialog. Literature is work that is primarily text, not work that happens to have text.

>By this logic...
Zweig and von Hoffmannstahl wrote librettos, and the latter's Electrica is unquestionably literature- as is Wagner's Ring.

So you concede that Tarantino (or some other director; pick your favorite) is also literature? Or are operas different from film in some relevant way?

>> No.11400679

Yes but not good literature. There are very few screenplays which could qualify as such (and it would be the screenplays, not the finished film)

I concede the possibility. Wagner is part of the German literary curriculum fwiw.
