Monday 13 November - From Lohengrin to Rheingold: Wagner's Evolutionary Leap
"The incomparable thing about myth is that it is always true, and its content, through utmost compression, is inexhaustible for all time".
Richard Wagner
Dr. David Larkin, a musicologist based at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, spoke to us on the topic "From Lohengrin to Rheingold: Wagner's Revolutionary Leap". In this fascinating examination of Wagner's leitmotifs and orchestrations, we learnt about his motivation and innovation in composing the Ring Cycle.
