I love Wagner, but also get huge laughs from both Anna Russell AND one of the greatest of the Warner Brothers cartoons....
"What's Opera, Doc?"
Its gotten to the point that every time I hear "
The Ride" I think of Elmer Fudd as Siegfried singing
"Kill the Wabbit! Kill the Wabbit"!
LOL! An audiophile society buddy does the same thing, so now I bring my LP of Die Walküre to meetings, just to hear him sing “Kill the wabbit!” He’s commented that whatever familiarity he has with classical music and opera he learned by watching Saturday morning cartoons.
