Botstiber Annual Lecture 2023

The Board of Advisors and staff of the Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies held their annual meeting in Washington, DC, on Friday, May 19, evaluating more than two dozen proposals for grant support during a day-long meeting. That evening, they traveled to the Austrian Embassy for the Annual Botstiber Lecture, where this year historian Larry Wolff dazzled a large crowd, including the new Austrian Ambassador, Petra Schneebauer, with a multi-media presentation about his new book, The Shadow of the Empress: Fairy-Tale Opera and the End of the Habsburg Monarchy (2023).
