When the horizontally gifted woman (aka fat lady) singing may not be enough….

Since both political conventions here in the United States have ended, I return to Wagner to find suitable references to the ending of each.  Here are two:  The first from, the entrance into Valhalla from the final scene of Das Rheingold.  The second, the famous immolation scene from Götterdämmerung which marks the end of the tetralogy and even more importantly of the world, to be redeemed through love.   While you might think it is easy to assign one or the other to either party, based on the sex of the singer, I must remind you that now in public schools in California and elsewhere, gender is thought of as a “choice” not an organic given from birth.  Don’t let gender deceive you.
