Forbidden Harmony and Forbidden Love:
Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde

Wednesday, January 18th
5:30pm on Zoom

Richard Wagner (1813-1883) is perhaps the most polarizing composer in the western canon. His personal life was a storm of controversies and constant flight from debtors. No less stormy was the music he wrote and perhaps no opera by Wagner (or any other composer of the 19^th century) is more of a lightning rod than “Tristan und Isolde”.
Join Professor Gil Harel as he leads an exploration of this watershed stage work.
