Public 'didn't get' Nazi production of Wagner opera   A
production of Wagner's Tannhauser in Dusseldorf has caused
outrage in Germany after depicting Nazi scenes.  The composer
did not write any Nazis into his opera as it was written in the
1840s.  The Rheinoper venue said some members of the audience
had to seek medical help after the first performance.  Music
critic Norman Lebrecht told the Today programme: "The public
didn't get it and didn't like it.  "The production company were
in a state of shock - not because of the bad reviews, but
because the public were besieging them with demands to sell back
their tickets for the rest of their production, nobody wanted to
see it."  First broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on
Thursday 9 May 2013.
