MEETING CANCELLED
May 19, 2012 - 8:00 am
The Met Opera recently announced that the entire Der Ring des Nibelungen would be shown in encore presentations in May. The presentation of Götterdämmerung is scheduled for NOON on May 19th, in direct conflict with the Wagner Society meeting. Because of this scheduling change, the meeting was cancelled so that the Society isn’t trying to conduct a meeting with very few members in attendance.
The JCC was extremely gracious and understanding of our situation and has agreed to transfer the rental payment to a future meeting. We thank the JCC for there generosity in helping us out of a critical situation.
The Wagner Society will endeavor to schedule Dr. Mary Ann Smart for the Fall of 2012.
