German composer Richard Wagner turned the love story of Tristan and Isolde into an epic opera. Epic as in, nearly 5 hours long, with almost no plot. Sometimes even the stars of the show nod off. But Amy O’Leary also talked with one woman who was aroused -- all too aroused, right there in Carnegie Hall -- by Tristan.
Produced by:
Amy O'Leary
