I finally bit the bullet and attended a cinema broadcast of Wagner's Die Walküre, which is the second opera in the Ring Cycle, though it works quite well on its own.
Though I've always been an opera enthusiast, something about Wagner's considerable body of work definitely intimidated me. Wagner fans are hardcore, the music is hardcore, and Norse mythology is hardcore. Everything about this aspect of the opera scene is hardcore, in fact; you've got to go big or go home.
