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:Yuval Sharon in Conversation with Cori Ellison
DESCRIPTION:What happens when opera’s most fearless rule-breaker takes on one of its most monumental works? In this wide-ranging conversation\, Yuval Sharon joins dramaturg Cori Ellison to unpack his bold new staging of Tristan und Isolde at the Metropolitan Opera. Known as opera’s “disrupter-in-residence\,” Sharon brings his signature curiosity to the work\, opening up fresh ways of listening\, seeing\, and experiencing its emotional and philosophical intensity. \nWe’ll also dive into his book\, A New Philosophy of Opera\, a manifesto-meets-invitation that reimagines opera as something alive\, flexible\, and radically inclusive. From parking-lot performances to rethinking canonical structures\, Sharon shares why he believes opera isn’t dying: it’s constantly being reborn. \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.
