SUMMARY:Five-Part Course: Wagner's Tristan und Isolde
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 2026\, the Metropolitan Opera will unveil a new production of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde; we offer this course\, taught by John J. H. Muller IV\, Faculty Emeritus\, The Juilliard School\, to enhance our members’ understanding and appreciation of the work. \nSince its premiere in 1865\, Tristan has exerted an overwhelming impact on audiences. After hearing Tristan for the first time\, Bruno Walter wrote\, “Wagner was my God\, and I wanted to become his prophet.” To understand Wagner’s world of longing\, night\, and death\, we explore Tristan in a variety of ways\, starting with the sources\, the creation of the libretto\, and the genesis of the work. The primary focus of the course is on Wagner’s use of erotically-charged chromatic harmonies\, an orchestral web of leitmotifs\, and subtle orchestration to embody the inner\, psychological world of his characters and the overall musical drama. The reception of this challenging work is studied\, along with its extraordinary influence on later composers. We also consider approaches to staging Tristan\, a work in which almost nothing happens on the stage. Classes are illustrated with a variety of recordings and videos demonstrating different interpretive approaches to the work by renowned artists. \nThis course is offered in collaboration with Juilliard Extension. \nFive sessions: Tuesdays 6:00 – 7:30pm\, February 3 – March 10\, (no session March 3); in-person only \nAbout the instructor: John J. H. Muller IV is professor emeritus in the Music Department at The Juilliard School and has given independent courses on Wagner and other composers. He presented the Society’s Bayreuth lecture series from 2010 to 2019. \n \nPricing: Regularly $280\, 50% discount for WSNY members ($140) – see email for discount code \nRegistration Online only via Juilliard Extension.

SUMMARY:Six Part Course: “Wagner: Questions of Influence and Originality”
DESCRIPTION:A six-part course \, “Wagner: Questions of Influence and Originality\,” taught by Juilliard Professor John J.H. Muller\, IV. \nThe course poses the question: To what degree is any artist original? What role do the achievements of other artists\, earlier and contemporary\, play in influencing a composer as “original” as Richard Wagner?  Wagner occupies a special position in the history of music\, both for his body of work and for his influence. Wagner’s own development was not linear; the past\, present\, and future of opera are present in all his works. \nSchedule:\nDates are six non-consecutive Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00 p.m. as follows: \nSeptember 11\nSeptember 18\nSeptember 25\nOctober 9\nOctober 16\nOctober 23 \nAll six classes are offered as a series\, not individually\, and the course price is $300 for WSNY members\, and $375 for non-members. \nThe Experience: This course is conceptual in nature\, rather than focusing on a single opera or musical issue – though these will certainly be referred to – nor is it “Wagner 101”. Students will likely have a familiarity with the plots to the works and basic issues relating to Wagner’s career\, dramatic concept\, music\, and achievements. An introduction to Wagner’s musical forbears will be covered in the first session. \nStudents will be provided with handouts and an extensive bibliography for further enrichment. Lectures will be accompanied by audio and video excerpts\, and there will be time for Q&A\, generally at the end of class. \nVenue & Accessibility: Classes will be held in-person only in the MacKay Studio of the National Opera Center\, 330 Seventh Avenue (between 29/28 Streets)\, 7th Floor\, New York\, NY \nThe Opera America building has ground-level entry with elevators to the 7th floor.  Wheelchair accessible; modular seating will be arranged to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. Handicap-accessible restrooms are available on the same floor. The venue is located on the west side of 7th Avenue between 28th-29th Streets\, closer to 29th Street. Sidewalk curb cuts at the 29th Street corner are uneven; for easier access and tactile paving enter from the 28th Street corner (at the downtown #1 subway station).
