Wagner in Omaha, 1887 and 1895

 

The first is a visit by the National Opera Company, during its troubled nationwide tour, with an array of operas that included Lohengrin; the second is Walter Damrosch, the New York Symphony, and a distinguished retinue of singers, including Johanna Gadski and Max Alvary, in performances of Lohengrin, Tannhäuser, and Die Walküre.
