I’ve never matured enough to understand and appreciate the music of Wagner.

Nobody on this thread mentioned that classical music is now considered racist.

You folks are so insensitive!

Tannhauser is a good place to start, if one is interested in Wagner.

For many years I found the music of Wagner ponderous.

The place to start with Wagner is with the overtures. Once they grow on you (and they will), you can then start exploring the rest. I would suggest Das Rheingold (first of the Ring cycle). It took years for me to truly appreciate all the full operas.
