Chris Walton, The Other Minna Wagner, Or: When Richard and Minna Can-Canned in Vienna

March 2022, Volume 16, Number 1, 35–41.

They have featured in numerous publications about Minna Wagner – one was even used on the cover of Sibylle Zehle’s biography of 2004. But none of them is of Richard Wagner’s wife.
