Opera Wednesday

This might well be my first post of the year, and I'm really embarrassed about that. (Not so embarrassed, you'll note, that I'm going to deliver a long essay - sorry about that, Mitchell.)

But I'm in a Wagner state of mind tonight, so here's the stirring men's chorus singing "The Pilgrim's Chorus" from Tannhauser. I don't know how Wagner felt about Mormons, so it might be ironic that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir brings you this rendition - then again, it might not. It's terrific stuff, though. ◙
