Since the allowed time wasn't enough to go any deeper into Richard Wagner's writing, I think it would've been better, not to mention it, in lieu of dismissing it with a few pejorative words.
Here is the quote which Mr.Reveles should've heeded himself before giving it away so loftily: "Thankfully we've dealing today with an opera, that has little or no relation to Wagner's ugly side." At least it would've been more up to scolastic standard.
