Wagner and the Greeks

Speranza

Father Owen Lee, C.S.B., was Professor Emeritus of Classics at the University of Toronto and moonlighted as intermission commentator, pianist, and quiz panelist on the Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts.

So this book, based on a talk given to The Wagner Society of Toronto, combined both his passions, and demonstrates the influence that Greek theatre and culture had on the most German of composers and his musical dramas.

 

M. Owen Lee is a Catholic priest and professor emeritus of Classics at St. Michael's College, University of Toronto.
