WEBINAR: Wagner From Middle Ages to Modernity

You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
When: Oct 24, 2020 01:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Topic: Wagner from Middle Ages to Modernity with Simon Williams
In this webinar Professor Williams will be discussing similarities and differences between Wagner’s use of the Medieval landscape in Lohengrin and Tristan und Isolde. Williams will discuss how in Lohengrin Wagner provides us with the crowning masterpiece of Grand Opera and how, in Tristan und Isolde, Wagner moves in a very different direction, which does not entirely abandon the past, but points toward the modern theatre.
