"Tune in to WKCR from May 22 to May 23 for a 48-hour broadcast devoted exclusively to the works of Richard Wagner. Perhaps the most influential German composer of the nineteenth century, Wagner redefined the way audiences think of music, drama, and art. We will be playing his operas chronologically from Rienzi to Parsifal."

DIE ZEIT IST DA. WKCR'S TWO DAY BROADCAST FOR WAGNER'S BICENTENNIAL STARTS IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

At midnight on the dot, we start with Wagner's massive work Rienzi, an opera that has all the makings of a French Grand Opera except that it's in German.

At 4:15 AM, tune in to hear The Flying Dutchman in a phenomenal recording featuring Astrid Varnay and the one and only Hans Hotter as the doomed captain.
