Wolfgang Wagner Dies At Age 90 (30 August 1919 -21 March 2010)

 Wolfgang Wagner was the last of what we would consider the most direct descendants of grandfather Richard Wagner and great-grandfather was Franz Liszt. His older brother Wieland had preceded him in 1966. He is succeeded as the co-directors of the Bayreuther Festspiele by half-sisters Eva and Katharina (more than three decades apart in age). As the New York Times tartly reported (Margalit Fox 23 March 2010) “In keeping with longstanding family tradition, they had not spoken to each other in many years.”
