Description: The Boston Wagner Society, a nonprofit organization formed under section 501(c)(3), strives to promote the enjoyment and knowledge of Richard Wagner’s enchanting and profound operas, as well as his songs and instrumental music.
This talk traces the many ways that Puccini “secretly” showed his admiration for Wagner, from his earliest opera to his last, Turandot , which was left unfinished at his death. On one “deathbed“ sketch that Puccini intended for the finale of that opera, he wrote “poi Tristano” – or “then Tristan.” We will see how he could have used a theme from Tristan und Isolde at that point.
Introduced by Jane Eaglen, an all-Wagner program featuring excerpts from Die Walküre , Tannhaüser , and art songs including his Wesendonck Lieder !
FREE to all! No ticket required.
