This is the Society’s annual “deep dive” into a Wagner-related work currently in the repertory of the Metropolitan Opera.  This year we will visit a work that many regard as Richard Strauss’s masterpiece: Die Frau ohne Schatten.  Speakers include Prof. Bryan Gilliam of Duke University, Prof. Larry Wolff of New York University, and our very popular Singers’ Roundtable featuring members of the cast of the Met production.  Critic and lecturer David Shengold will return as our Moderator.
