By popular demand, we will be revisiting the shimmering sound and complex world of Lohengrin, Wagner’s ethereal Romantic music drama. We will have the privilege of an in-depth journey guided by our “dream team” presenters:

Pianist Jeffrey Swann offers his prized lecture-demonstrations at the piano. An internationally known concert pianist, he is known from previous Wildnis weekends, his concert performances for WSWDC, his talk on the Norn scene for the Metropolitan Opera’s 2019 Ring production, and his lectures at Bayreuth.

Professor Simon Williams, Professor Emeritus after a thirty-year career at the University of California at Santa Barbara, presents his insightful lectures on Wagner and drama. His major publications include Wagner and the Romantic Hero, Richard Wagner and Festival Theater, A History of German Theatre (co-editor), and The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Stage Actors and Acting (sole editor).

The program features lecture and discussion sessions, informal conversations between sessions and at meals with lecturers and members, a DVD showing, and more!

Registration fee to be paid by March 15: $495 per person (single room); $390 per person (sharing a double room) includes lectures, two nights’ lodging, breakfast, lunch, dinner, morning coffee, a welcome cocktail, and two after-hours parties!
