The Good, the Bad, the Ugly ... and, ultimately, the Beautiful!

Central to this year's Art vs. Artist programming theme is the question:

How do we reconcile the work of an artist with a life and legacy that includes elements which sometimes profoundly challenge our contemporary values? 

Please join us as our friend, Will Berger, author of Wagner Without Fear: Learning to Love--and Even Enjoy--Opera's Most Demanding Genius, reviews elements of racism in Wagner's work, life and legacy.

Equipped with our renewed understanding, just what do we do with that information? Your response may surprise you!

A recording of the event is now viewable here.
