Love from a distance, at times, can be more tantalizing, more motivating, more fulfilling than love nearby, the unattainable more desirable than love requited. Instances abound from mythology to modern times. This lecture visits some stirring fictional and real-life examples offered by Jaufré Rudel, Dante, Pushkin, Thomas Mann, Rossetti, Kokoschka, Berlioz, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Berg, Britten, and Kaija Saariaho.

Welcome to The Wagner Society of Dallas. You know, as Texans, we're bound to strive for being the biggest and best of all the Wagner groups in the world over. My hope, in addition, is that we ensure your attendance and participation by offering an interesting, stimulating, and enjoyable array of meetings, recitals, and travel. Let us know if you have suggestions for future activities, and do make an effort to join in during the coming months with your membership, attendance, and above all joy of being with fellow Wagner aficionados.
