Well, I'll agree that I don't hear any anti-semitic content in Wagner's libretti, but you never know, I might be missing something very subtle. It's just the same old "let's be German" claptrap that was kicked off by the likes of Heine, Goethe and Niettzche and reached its ridiculous nadir with Hitler and his thousand-year Reich.

However, things done in the name of "education" sometimes go wrong or can still be very offensive. Shall we include the Horst Wessel anthem in concerts in the name of education? How about a rousing chorus of "Adolf Hitler ist Lieblings Blume"?
