County officials today will weigh in on whether the LA Opera should
hold a festival honoring the music of Richard Wagner, an
anti-Semitic 19th-century composer.

The opera company is scheduled to perform Wagner's "Ring" cycle
opera over several months, starting in April 2010. It will also
feature lectures and other events tied the composer.

But county Supervisor Michael Antonovich, who represents parts of
the San Gabriel Valley, has introduced a motion calling on the Board
of Supervisors to oppose the opera company's plans to feature
Wagner's work so prominently.

Some have charged that his music, which was admired by Adolf Hitler,
represents a Nazi ideology and should not be performed. But
representatives of the opera company say Antonovich is attempting
censorship.

The board lacks the power to regulate what music the opera company
can perform: Today's motion, if approved, would result in a letter
from the board to the opera company asking it to lessen its focus on
Wagner by including works by other composers and offering lectures
focusing on Wagner's openly anti-Semitic views.

The arrogance of some Jews is amazing.

Especially those Lutheran ones like the guy who introducted the motion.
