Was Wagner a cross-dresser?
From the Guardian
A previously unpublished letter by Richard Wagner to a firm of Milanese couturiers offers the intriguing possibility that the composer was a cross-dresser. The letter was published for the first time Thursday in the inaugural edition of the Wagner Journal. According to Barry Millington, co-editor of the journal, the letter, dating from January 1874 and now in a private collection in the U.S., at the very least points to an extremely detailed interest in the minutiae of ladies’ apparel.
