Favorites
from earlier Wildnis experiences, Simon Williams and Jeffrey Swann, return to
examine the least well-known opera of the Ring. Again, we will read the libretto and spend leisurely time in
discussing our various Wagner experiences, opinions, and knowledge. In addition to intellectual stimulation, the
Cacapon experience will offer hiking (20 miles of trails), golf, horseback
riding, swimming and fishing. We will
be holding all our sessions in the Club Room of the Lodge.
Cost to WSWDC members for the full seminar,
2 nights lodging, 3 meals per day per person is only $285!
(no increase from last year)
Non-members are $315. (It pays
to join.) Members of other Wagner
Societies are invited to attend at the WSWDC price.
