Who is Viacheslav Vlasov?
An admirer and researcher of the works of Richard Wagner, Viacheslav is the author of stories about Wagner's life and works in Riga, St. Petersburg, and Venice, and about the first performances of his operas in the Russian Empire. He is also known as the co-author of several Wagner-related creative projects.
Viacheslav is a member of The Wagner Society in the UK and a member of the Writers’ Union of Russia.
My mission as a writer is to discover the unknown facts of life and the works of Richard Wagner, introduce them to my readers in an entertaining way, and welcome the readers to reflection and discussion.
