Volume 5, Number 2 —Die Walküre From the Editor ven though the much-awaited concert of the Wagner/Liszt piano transcriptions was canceled due to un- avoidable circumstances (the musicians were unable to obtain a visa), the winter and early spring months E brought several stimulating events. On January 19, Vice President Erika Reitshamer gave an audiovisual presentation on Wagner’s early opera Das Liebesverbot. This well-attended event was augmented by photocopies of extended excerpts from the libretto, with frequently amusing commentary by the presenter on Wagner’s influences and foreshadowings of his future operas. February 23 brought the excellent talk by Professor Hans Rudolf Vaget of Smith College. Professor Vaget spoke about Wagner’s English biographer Ernest Newman, whose seminal four-volume book The Life of Richard Wagner has never been surpassed in its thoroughness. In the early part of the twentieth century, the music critic Newman served as a counterbalance to his fellow countryman Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Wagner’s son-in-law and an ardent Nazi. The talk also included aspects of Thomas Mann’s fictional writings on Wagner, as well as the philoso- pher and musician Theodor Adorno and Wagner’s other son-in-law Franz Beidler. On April 19 we learned the extent of Buddhism’s influence on Wagner’s operas thanks to a lecture and book signing by Paul Schofield, author of The Redeemer Reborn: Parsifal as the Fifth Opera of Wagner’s Ring. The audience members were so interested in what Mr.

The American Opera Series for 2015 will bring distinction to your station’s schedule, and unmatched enjoyment to your listeners. Highlights of the American Opera Series include: • The American Opera Series celebrates the Fourth of July (which falls on a Saturday) with Lyric Opera of Chicago’s stellar production of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. • LA Opera brings us The Figaro Trilogy, including Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, and John Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles. • The world premiere of Marco Tutino’s Two Women (La Ciociara) starring Anna Caterina Antonacci, based on the novel by Alberto Moravia that became a classic film, staged by San Francisco Opera. • Opera Southwest’s notable reconstruction of Franco Faccio’s 1865 opera Amleto (Hamlet), believed lost for over 135 years, in its American premiere.
