The WSNC continues it’s series of opera film screenings with Lohengrin in the 2006 filming by Stephan Braunfels, staged by Nikolaus Lehnhoff in a new production from Festspielhaus Baden-Baden.
Lehnhoff interprets Wagner’s Lohengrin as the dramatic struggle of masculine and feminine, revenge and compassion. Powerfully acted, almost like a Strindberg play and musically of the highest order, this Lohengrin from the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden will be a benchmark production for decades. Kent Nagano conducts Solveig Kringelborn, Waltraud Meier, Klaus Florian Vogt, Tom Fox, Roman Trekel, and Hans Peter König.
This is a stunning production you will want to see! |
August – No meeting – enjoy Bayreuth, Glimmerglass and beyond
September 20th – Dr. Mitchell Morris from UCLA has rescheduled and will be our speaker.
Topic to be announced soon.
October 4th – Joan Trasker Grimbert from the Catholic University of America – “In Search of Tristan”
Coming in November – Professor Conrad Susa will begin a special 4-part series on the music of Der Ring des Nibelungen. This will be a musicological journey leading us through Wagner’s score – culminating in time for the San Francisco Opera's production of its new Ring Cycle. |
