A Note on Opera: Wagner’s “Lohengrin”
February 8, 2016 at 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join Goethe for their latest lecture in “A Note on Opera” series as they look at Wagner’s “Lohengrin.”
How much do we really know about another person? And how much are we willing to take on faith? These are the central questions in “Lohengrin.” Its call for national unity reflected the mood throughout the German states, leading up to the revolutions of 1848. “Lohengrin” is the last of Wagner’s more traditional works, with its choruses, duets, arias, etc. and is considered the “swan song” of German Romantic Nationalism.
Course to be taught in English by David Kerr. No pre-existing knowledge of music required.
