The Agony and the Ecstasy – Tannhäuser’s Journey to Albania

Tenor Roy Stevens and Stage Director Daniel Helfgott worked long and hard to bring the first-ever performance of Wagner’s Tannhäuser to the stage in Tirane, Albania. There were times when they feared the project might not come to fruition. 

But it did! Stevens and Helfgott will share their story and also present video of the production.  Their work was supported through the William O. Cord Memorial Grant Fund.

Program begins at 1:00 p.m.     Free to members, non-members $10
