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:Lohengrin Vocal Showcase
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Metropolitan Opera Guild\, a vocal showcase featuring excerpts from Wagner’s Lohengrin. \nLohengrin is the third opera of Wagner’s middle period\, and it continues a style of tonality that the composer had developed earlier in Tannhäuser. Lohengrin’s musical style also anticipates Wagner’s future leitmotif technique and\, as with all of his operas and later musikdramas\, reflects the bigger-than-life form of grand opera. Join Jane Marsh at the Kaplan Penthouse as she and four soloists explore this thrilling white-knight fairy tale. \nCarami Hilaire (WSNY grantee) – Elsa\nAmanda Zory (WSNY awardee) – Ortrud\nNicholas Simpson – Lohengrin\nDaniel Sutin – Telramund\nCraig Ketter – Pianist \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPianist Craig Ketter and vocalists\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:2023 Lohengrin Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nOur 42nd annual seminar\, a half-day deep-dive into the world of Wagner’s Swan Knight.

Miller Charitable Fund Chair); Thomas Lausmann\, Director of Music Administration; and William Short\, Bassoon\, Principal; the program ended with Prof. Jeffrey Swann on “Good and Evil: The Musical Duality of Lohengrin”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMet Cast Roundtable: Günther Groissböck\, Brian Mulligan\, Piotr Beczała\, Tamara Wilson\, interviewed by Victoria Bond\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The extent to which being exposed night after night to the greatest voices in the world influences our playing and our relationship to music” – William Short (bassoon)\, discussing the difference between symphonic and opera playing. With The Met Orchestra Roundtable: Jason Haaheim\, Timpani; Jessica Phillips\, Clarinet; Thomas Lausmann\, Director of Music Administration; William Short\, Bassoon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Anything we play has a purpose.

That to me is incredibly meaningful.” – Thomas Lausmann (Met Opera Director of Music Administration)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The reason why the Met Orchestra in particular is so incredibly flexible is because we're always listening to that voice; there's something about the breath and the tone quality\, especially with Wagnerian voices\, that we're trying to follow.

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:Maestro Thomas Guggeis on Conducting Wagner
DESCRIPTION:Maestro Thomas Guggeis shared his insights into the challenges of conducting the Ring in Berlin and Der fliegende Holländer at the Metropolitan Opera\, with particular emphasis on the influence of bel canto tradition in Wagner’s vocal writing. \nThomas Guggeis created an international stir in March 2018 when he was tapped to take over a highly acclaimed new production of Salome from Christoph von Dohnányi at the Staatsoper unter den Linden in Berlin\, where he was subsequently named Staatskapellmeister for the 2019/20 to 2022/23 seasons. In 2022\, Maestro Guggeis conducted the second Ring cycle in place of Daniel Barenboim. In October 2021 he was named Music Director-designate of the Oper Frankfurt as of 2023/24\, where he will also assume artistic leadership of the Frankfurt Museumskonzerte. At the time of our event\, Guggeis was making his debuts at the Metropolitan Opera and the Santa Fe Opera with Der fliegende Holländer. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nConductor Thomas Guggeis demonstrates motifs from Der fliegende Holländer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaestro Thomas Guggeis speaks with Prof. John J. H. Muller IV and members and guests of the Wagner Society of New York.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaestro Guggeis takes some time to talk with WSNY members before the evening's performance.
