Wagner Mania: Washington DC. November 2013


Concerts from the Library of Congress is gearing up for a month full of events that pay homage to Richard Wagner. As they cannot present a full production of Der Ring des Nibelungen in the Coolidge Auditorium, they have decided to offer a glimpse into some lesser-known musical elements of Wagner’s legacy.
