Wagner's 'The Flying Dutchman' Told in 3 Minutes

WQXR morning host Jeff Spurgeon breaks down Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman," in three minutes flat.

I ADORE Jeff Spurgeon 's 3 minute "reduction" of the week's Saturday opera! He actually achieves a clear synopsis with just enough irreverence to be delicious.

Is this really WQXR? It sounds like Comedy Central... Great video though!

"His daughter is his most prized possession." Nice Wagner. Very nice. Very progressive of you.

Can you add this commentary to a stick figure video? =0)

[@MehlindaHeartt]

I agree, I'm visual and the story goes by so fast, I need to see pictures, but I love the storytelling and the musical inserts

[@ValzainLumivix]

Good suggestion.

[@mariac5942]

Ahahahah i love It!

[@avictorbell2835]

Nothing should last longer than 3 minutes

What’s the point of saying audience members fall asleep? That’s trashing opera, and makes newcomers dismiss it immediately.

Pull the stick out of your rear. It's an affectionate joke.

@@gooel Great response!😊

Garbage, I see why Nietzsche went in on Wagner 😂
