SINGING ERDA
with Nadine Weissman
Originally aired June 4th, 2022
Nadine Weissmann came to international prominence in 2013 as Erda in Frank Castorf’s Bayreuth Festival production of Der Ring des Nibelungen under Kirill Petrenko, a role she sang at Bayreuth in five consecutive seasons. In demand for Wagnerian roles worldwide, such as Erda, Flosshilde, Waltraute, Schwerlliete, and Mary, she is also known for her comedic talent, in past seasons jumping in five times at the Opéra Bastille alongside the Falstaff of Sir Bryn Terfel. She sang at the Salzburg Festival in Barrie Kosky's sensational Orphée aux enfers and shortly afterwards at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in David McVicar's legendary Magic Flute.
WAGNER OUT WEST
with Jeffery McMillan
Sunday, July. 17th @ 1:00 PM PST
at the Colburn School
It’s hard to believe its been 100 years since the San Francisco Opera was “officially” born and Wagner was among the first visit the newly founded opera company. Well, not in person, but in the form of a complete “Der Ring Des Nibelungen”! From there the shadow of Wagner continue to travel through the California west, to San Diego, Los Angeles and some smaller awesome opera companies. “Wagner Out West” is a survey both in photo and musical example, of the impact of Wagner’s music and theater in the California plains. “Hojotojo-yee-ha!” This event will be recorded for our members who cannot attend the live event and will be available in the WSSC Media Archives.
