Boston Wagner Society is excited to have MICHAEL STEINBERG present “Wagner and Verdi Together.”
Sunday October 5th 2025, 2pm Eastern Time, on Zoom
Free to BWS members; please RSVP via email to register.
$10 for non-members
The presentation will juxtapose the careers and some of the key works of Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner as composers of national music in both content and style. In the age of nationalism, how did Verdi become the Italian icon and Wagner the German one? Are their nationalisms compatible? Radically different? Does Verdi deserve his continuously good press, and Wagner his consistently bad reputation?
