Wagner
as mental health menace
Reports may seem far-fetched that a German production of Richard
Wagner's Tannhäuser, feted as a highlight of the 200th anniversary
celebrations of his birth this month, have taken such a heavy
psychological toll on members of the Düsseldorf audience that some have
needed medical attention. But in his day, the German composer was held
responsible for a lot more than fainting and heart palpitations: his
works were viewed as a threat not only to the health of musicians and
listeners but also to any society that was trying to uphold order.
