❄️☃️ “Even on a DC snow day, Wotan braves the frost to meet Erda! 🎼 While the city sleeps under snow, it’s the perfect time to cozy up and listen to Siegfried. Let Wagner’s epic melodies melt the winter chill. #WagnerInDC #SnowDay #RideWithWotan #SiegfriedAndChill”

Even Tannhäuser can’t handle DC’s Metro system. Valhalla Line? Delayed. Lost? Absolutely. Heroic? Debatable. At least he brought a map. #WagnerInDC #LostInTheDMV

Forget swan boats! 🚴‍♂️ Lohengrin just called a rideshare to cruise by the Potomac. When the Swan Knight upgrades his commute, medieval drama meets 21st-century convenience. 🛴 #ModernLegends #OperaHumor #Lohengrin

Did you know Wagner’s Götterdämmerung clocks in at over 5 hours? That’s not an opera—it’s a marathon! Our advice? Pack snacks like a hero. Just avoid crunchy wrappers during the quiet parts. You’re welcome. #WagnerTrivia #OperaLife #ValhallaFuel #WagnerTips

🎭 Did You Know? Richard Wagner coined Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art") to unite music, poetry, drama, and visuals. His operas, like The Ring Cycle, embody this ideal, where every detail—costumes, staging, music—serves the story. #WagnerTrivia #OperaHistory
