SUMMARY:From Richard I to Richard III: Wagner\, Strauss and Questions of Influence
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Muller’s lecture\, with musical and visual illustrations\, highlighted the Met’s upcoming Strauss operas: Ariadne auf Naxos (March 1–17\, 2022) and Elektra (April 1–20\, 2022). A Juilliard professor since 1980\, Prof. Muller also lectures for other organizations and he presented WSNY’s Bayreuth lectures from 2010–2019. \nFrom Richard I to Richard III: it’s not a typo! Prof. Muller states: “There is no Richard II\, that’s the point. There had to be an interregnum after Wagner. This idea goes back to Hans von Bülow\, who made the remark about Richard  I and III.” \nSupplementary materials: \nClick here for the List of Strauss Operas \nClick here for the Wagner-Strauss Orchestral Comparison

SUMMARY:Wagner & German Nationalism with Prof. Michael P. Steinberg
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nProf. Michael P. Steinberg of Brown University and co-curator of the recent exhibit in Berlin’s German Historical Museum explained the influence of Wagner on German nationalism in the mid-19th century and its lasting impact on German self-identity. As Prof. Steinberg explained to The New York Times\, “You can’t have a naïve and beautiful production of a Wagner opera in Germany. It’s impossible.” The presentation took place at the National Opera Center in New York City\, followed by a social hour with refreshments. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“In Germany... every production of Wagner has to take the history of Wagner\, the political history of Wagner\, the history of German taste into account. There is no way to be innocent about Wagner in Germany.” – Prof. Michael P. Steinberg (Brown University) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers & guests socialize after the presentation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nF.

SUMMARY:Barry Millington: A Collision of Like-Minded Souls
DESCRIPTION:Barry Millington (editor of The Wagner Journal\, author of The Sorcerer of Bayreuth) will join us from England in a pre-recorded talk to discuss his recent research on the relationship among Wagner\, painter Edward Burne-Jones\, and author George Eliot. These three sensationally gifted late-18th century artists had substantial influence on each other and the age in which they lived. Millington calls it “A Collision of Like-Minded Souls.” This is a members-only\, online-only event; members will receive a livestream link automatically via e-mail; no need to pre-register. \nAbout the speaker: Barry Millington is Chief Music Critic for the London Evening Standard and founder/editor of The Wagner Journal.  He is the author and editor or co-editor of eight books on Wagner\, including Wagner\, The Wagner Compendium\, The Ring of the Nibelung: A Companion and Selected Letters of Richard Wagner\, and also contributed the articles on Wagner and his operas to The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and The New Grove Dictionary of Opera. His latest Wagner book\, The Sorcerer of Bayreuth\, was published by Thames & Hudson/OUP in 2012. He was the founder and artistic director of the Hampstead & Highgate Festival (1999–2003)\, has acted as dramaturgical adviser at international opera houses\, and co-founded the ensemble Counterpoise\, working with artists such as Sir John Tomlinson and Sir Willard White. He was co-director of Wagner 200\, a wide-ranging series of events celebrating the bicentenary of Wagner’s birth in 2013\, and is known also as a broadcaster and lecturer.

SUMMARY:“Long Live America!”: Wagner and the New World
DESCRIPTION:Scholar Hans Vaget returns to offer thoughts on Wagner’s relationship with America. This lecture offers a condensed English version of Prof. Vaget’s recent book\, Richard Wagners Amerika. Eine Ausgrabung (2022). Examining Wagner’s repeatedly stated intention to emigrate to America\, and drawing on the privately printed Reminiscences of his American dentist\, N.S. Jenkins\, we can now reassess the role of America in Wagner’s imagination. Dr. Jenkins was a much sought-after cutting edge dentist who treated Wagner and became a friend. Prof. Vaget highlights the lasting\, though largely obscured attachment of the creator of The Ring to the revolutionary heritage of the United States. He shines a light on the prominent role of American dentistry in Europe\, and illuminates a little-known but surprisingly revealing aspect of German American cultural relations in the Nineteenth Century. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n"The creator of The Ring was driven to deception by the well-founded fear that the legacy he wished to bequeath to the German nation - the annual festival at Bayreuth - was far from being secured. ... [King Ludwig's] generosity regularly needed to be reanimated; if all else should fail\, by threats of immigration."\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"Even after the idea of immigration had shed its semblance of seriousness\, Richard Wagner and Cosima kept talking about America as a dream destination. In the Summer of 1880\, still in Naples\, Cosima noted on July 12 'America constantly in our conversations.' Two days later: 'and again and again America'. Wagner in an almost giddy mood\, fantasizing about a voyage to America 'in order to make his fortune\, visions of us all arriving in California in a royal carriage'. This is why Cosima's diary is so delicious: because you get lots of details like that." \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHans Vaget on Wagner & America\, February 2024\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person\, followed by a social hour with refreshments\, and livestreamed (viewable up to 36 hours after the start of the event). WSNY Members receive livestream link automatically by e-mail; no need to pre-register. \nAbout the speaker: Hans Rudolf Vaget\, a native of Marienbad (Czechoslovakia)\, received his academic training at the universities of Munich\, Tuebingen\, Cardiff (Wales)\, and Columbia University\, New York\, where he earned a PhD in German literature. From 1967 to 2004 he taught German Studies and Comparative Literature at Smith College. He is the author of books on Goethe\, Thomas Mann\, and Wagner; most recently (2022): Richard Wagners Amerika. Eine Ausgrabung (Excavating Wagner’s America). Associated with the WSNY since the 1980s\, he served\, from 2005 to 2013\, as co-editor of wagnerspectrum\, the first independent journal of Wagner Studies; he also contributes regularly to The Wagner Journal and Wagner Notes. He first visited the Bayreuth Festival in 1959 and returned frequently.

SUMMARY:A View from the Prompter's Box with Craig Rutenberg
DESCRIPTION:“The prompter is the ultimate safety net for the performance: a helper\, part conductor\, part assistant stage director\, knowing the problem spots with individual singers — an in-the-moment problem solver. Those are just a few of the skills required.” – Craig Rutenberg \n\n\n\n\n\n\n"I think the best description I've ever heard of what a prompter does is\, we are the safety net. That was Maestro Levine's term for it. And if a conductor or director - more and more nowadays - doesn't see the need for a safety net - they're hanging themselves out to dry pretty badly."\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn prompting a chorus: "There are certain\, ahem\, chorus masters who say: 'Don't bother the chorus.' The chorus comes to me and says\, 'Please! We need your cues! Don't care what he says... we need you!' So it's always a delicate balance there. "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial hour after Mr. Rutenberg's talk\n\n\n\n\n\nFormer Head of Music Staff at the Metropolitan Opera\, Craig Rutenberg explains what a prompter does\, what preparation prompters undergo in a particular production\, and how a good prompter can rescue performers from disaster. He will also discuss the various responsibilities of the music staff at the Met — from rehearsal pianist to diction coach to assistant conductor to prompter. \nThis informal talk with Mr. Rutenberg will be led by conductor Tyson Deaton and discuss how prompting Wagner is different from\, say\, Mozart or Puccini; the differences between prompting solo singers as opposed to difficult ensembles such as Die Meistersinger; developing sensitivity to the individual needs of artists; the function of a prompter in the rehearsal room vs. the stage\, and physical/technical aspects of positioning; memorable moments while prompting and in rehearsals\, and of course what happens when things go wrong – or surprisingly right!\n \nThe event will be followed by a social hour with refreshments\, and livestreamed (viewable up to 36 hours after the start of the event). WSNY Members will receive livestream link automatically by e-mail; no need to pre-register. \nProgram Change: Regrettably Ms. Joan Dornemann is unavailable for her originally scheduled talk. We thank Craig Rutenberg for accepting our invitation to this interview. \nAbout the Speaker: Craig Rutenberg\, a native of New Haven\, CT\, is best known as an accompanist and vocal coach. He is former Head of Music at The Metropolitan Opera and has coached nationally and worldwide for the opera companies in San Francisco\, Chicago and Houston as well as at The Paris Opera\, Covent Garden and The Glyndebourne Festival. Mr. Rutenberg has appeared in recital and recorded with Thomas Hampson\, Ben Heppner\, Christine Brewer along with many others. Future plans include coaching at several universities in the USA in addition to visits to China\, Sweden\, Italy and the Czech Republic. \nAccessibility: The 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.

SUMMARY:Anton Bruckner & Richard Wagner
DESCRIPTION:Conductor Jakob Lehmann presents an exploration of the fascinating relationship between Anton Bruckner and Richard Wagner – a connection that was characterized by one-sided admiration and disappointed hopes. The younger revered the elder\, even if the latter did not always fulfill his few promises. For Bruckner\, however\, Wagner always remained the ‘master of all masters.’ Particular attention will be paid to the myth of Bruckner’s “Wagner symphony” and the facts behind it. Audio examples will show how performance traditions of both composers have changed over the years\, from the first recorded performances to today’s interpretations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJakob Lehmann on Bruckner & Wagner March 2025\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor further reading: Bruckner in Bayreuth from the Anton Bruckner Institut Linz (in German)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial hour after the evening's lecture\n\n\n\n\n\n“There is so much mythmaking going on in the 20th century\, and especially once the Third Reich started to get their hands and their ideology on Bruckner. There is so much mythmaking that has nothing to do with historical precedent – and still today – that mythmaking is influencing the actual musical interpretations of these pieces. And what I think may not really be clear enough to us is that with many other composers\, we have tried to make a clean slate: But in Wagner and Bruckner\, that just hasn’t happened yet in the way that it maybe should have happened. And this is something that I’ve personally been very interested in exploring.” \nAbout the speaker: Conductor Jakob Lehmann is the Artistic Director of the chamber orchestra Eroica Berlin\, and Associate Artistic Director of New York based Bel canto festival Teatro Nuovo.  The week after his appearance with the WSNY he will lead period instrument ensemble Juilliard415 in a performance of Beethoven’s Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus\, Symphony No. 1 and Symphony No. 2\, live at Alice Tully Hall\, and streamed on Juilliard.live and WQXR on Saturday\, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. \nThe event will be followed by a social hour with refreshments. \nSource Material: Mr. Lehmann emphasized the importance of the book Bruckner in Bayreuth\, a publication of the Anton Bruckner Institut Linz (2019\, Musikwissenschaftlicher Verlag Wien – in German). \nLivestream: the event will be livestreamed (viewable up to 36 hours after the start of the event). WSNY Members will receive livestream link automatically by e-mail; no need to pre-register. \nAccessibility: The 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.

SUMMARY:Wagner/Brahms: Music\, Culture\, and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Wagner/Brahms: Music\, Culture\, and Politics: A comparative study of two paragons of 19th century German romanticism. \nThis lecture will explore the relationship between two figures who were arguably the most important German composers of the late nineteenth century. Although early on Wagner and Brahms had several positive interactions and even expressed mutual admiration\, the two composers became caught up in a broader culture war\, pitted against each other by their respective followers. In this conflict\, Wagner was often depicted as modern and progressive and Brahms as backward-looking and conservative. But their musical languages\, as well as their cultural and political values\, suggest the opposite may be the case. \nAbout the speaker: Walter Frisch is H. Harold Gumm/Harry and Albert von Tilzer Professor of Music at Columbia University in New York\, where he has taught since 1982.  He has also been a guest professor at the University of Freiburg in Germany\, Yale University\, Princeton University\, and the University of Pennsylvania and has lectured on music throughout the United States\, and in England\, France\, Spain\, Germany\, and China. \nProfessor Frisch is a specialist in the music of composers from the Austro-German sphere in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\, ranging from Schubert to Schoenberg.  He has written numerous articles and two books on Brahms\, including Brahms and the Principle of Developing Variation (1984) and Brahms: the Four Symphonies (1996\, 2003).  He served as editor of the volume Brahms and His World (1990\, 2009) and was the founding president of the American Brahms Society in 1983.  He is the co-author\, with George S. Bozarth\, of the Brahms article in the second edition of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (2000). Professor Frisch’s publications on Schoenberg include the book The Early Works of Arnold Schoenberg\, 1893-1908 (1993) and the edited volume Schoenberg and His World (1999).  He also edited and contributed to a volume on Schubert’s music\, Schubert: Critical and Analytical Studies (1986). His book German Modernism: Music and the Arts (2005) investigates the relationships between music and its cultural context in Austria and Germany during the period 1880-1915. \nThe event will be followed by a social hour with refreshments. \nLivestream: the event will be livestreamed (viewable up to 36 hours after the start of the event). WSNY Members receive livestream link automatically by e-mail; no need to pre-register. \nLocation: NOTE CHANGE: this event will take place in the Rehearsal Hall on the 7th floor of the National Opera Center\, to the left as one enters at reception.
