SUMMARY:A Note on Opera: Richard Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde"
DESCRIPTION:Join Goethe for their latest lecture in their “A Note on Opera” series as they look at Richard Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde.”\n Based on various Celtic legends\, including the tales of King Arthur\, Wagner’s opera is a radical departure from all previous operas\, both his and anyone else’s. Its sound is so modern than it belies the fact of it being composed in the early 1860s! With “Tristan\,” Wagner changed the sound of music forever. The story of doomed lovers whose passion defies all rules is perfectly realized in Wagner’s score\, a continuous melodic development that fails to reach resolution until the inevitable tragic conclusion. \nCourse to be taught in English by David Kerr. No pre-existing knowledge of music required. \nPlease use the link to register in advance for this lecture.

SUMMARY:Luncheon and Discussion with Dr. Daniel Klingenfeld
DESCRIPTION:“A New Era? Global Climate Protection Efforts After the Paris Climate Summit” \nThe conclusion of the climate negotiations in Paris in November 2015 constitutes a landmark for international climate policy: The Paris Agreement defines an ambitious target for climate stabilization\, along with a global response strategy for mitigating emissions and for adapting to climatic changes. However\, a big gap still exists between reported nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and the temperature guard rail\, putting the credibility of global climate policy efforts in doubt. Looking ahead\, a successful implementation of the Paris Agreement will depend on a strategy for closing the ambition-action gap. Here\, broad-based carbon pricing will have a critical role to play. In his talk\, Dr. Klingenfeld will deliver an analysis of the Paris Agreement and also highlight recent findings from climate change research\, which are underscoring the urgency to act.
