The Wagner Society is excited to welcome Speight Jenkins to our meeting on February 4th. Speight Jenkins served as General Director of Seattle Opera for over 30 years and has been a guest speaker for the Society on numerous occasions. Presently retired, but still active in opera education, adjudicating vocal competitions and serving as a “talent scout”, Jenkins is always a well spring of information and insight about all things Wagnerian and operatic. Presently teaching a course on Wagner at Stanford Continuing Education, the Society is delighted that Jenkins has made time in his busy schedule for the Wagner Society.
