At the Ottoman Bank Museum Richard Wagner and Literature
The Voyvoda Street Lectures will be hosting a lecture by musicologist İlke Boran this month at Music and Literature. In his presentation on "Richard Wagner and Literature," Boran will discuss how the famous German composer's love for literature and philosophy was reflected in his operas. The lecture is scheduled for Wednesday, January 18, at 6:30 p.m.
Richard Wagner (1813-1883), who originally wished to pursue a literary career, launched the movement of German Romanticism in music and ended up one of the most eccentric composers of all times. The lecture is illustrated by his epic four-opera cycle, Der Ring
des Niebelungen, which epitomizes the fusion of his composer and essayist personas
