Holländer Postlude – Expanded Program

Following the final performance of San Francisco Opera’s Der fliegende Holländer, the Wagner Society will have a special program to discuss and expand on Wagner’s early opera Der fliegende Holländer. The Society has invited two noted speakers for this special expanded program.

The Society welcomes back Scott Fogelsong.  Dr. Fogelsong teaches music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, University of California Berkeley and the Fromm Institute. In addition to his teaching, Fogelsong also gives pre-performance talks for the San Francisco Symphony and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra.

The Society welcomes a new speaker, Desiree Mays. Desiree Mays, is known to many opera goers who have heard her lectures at the Santa Fe Opera as well as some who have participated in opera travel with Act 1 Performing Arts Tours.

We will update the site with the lecture titles when this information is available.
