"Wagner and Wagnerism in Nineteenth-Century Sweden, Finland, and the Baltic Provinces reveals the surprising extent to which music lovers and operagoers from the various countries, many of them women, traveled to Wagner's Bayreuth Festival to attend performances. It also reconstructs the imaginative and patient efforts by which confirmed Wagnerians established Wagner societies in order to promote an understanding of the composer's work."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-298) and index Notes English Print version record Subject Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Sweden Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Finland Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Russia (Federation) -- Baltic Provinces Wagner Richard 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Baltic Provinces (Russia) Wagner Richard 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Finland Wagner Richard 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Sweden Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Russia (Federation) -- Baltic Provinces Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Finland Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883 -- Performances -- Sweden Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883 Wagner, Richard -- Rezeption -- Nordeuropa -- Geschichte 19.
