摘要
以色列歌剧院的新任音乐总监大卫·斯特恩（David Stern）是一个充满想法的60多岁的老人。当被记者问及是否将计划在特拉维夫演出理查·瓦格纳的歌剧，斯特恩给予了否定的回答。
OUTLINE/Wagner's music is not played in Israel's opera houses or concert halls. This'ban'is not official,but a custom that goes all the way back to the founding of the Jewish state in 1948.Why does Israel insist that its musicians not perform such universally acknowledged masterpieces as Tristan und Isolde and Die Meistersinger? In light of the recrudescence of anti-Semitism in parts of Europe that once pretended to be civilized,Israel's Wagner ban serves as a still-useful reminder that ideas have consequences-and that those who spread evil ideas should be held responsible for their consequences.
