Identified …
Synopsis In 1871, one year after the premiere in Munich of Richard Wagner’s opera “Die Walküre,” a German-born American conductor named Theodore Thomas wrote Wagner asking if he might perform excerpts of this new work in the United States.

Synopsis There’s a book entitled “Great Operatic Disasters” which chronicles the sometime humorous – and sometimes harrowing – mishaps that have befallen opera singers and productions over the last few centuries.

Synopsis In September of 1825, an Englishman by the name of Sir George Smart came to Vienna, hoping to meet Beethoven.
