What is the "modern convention"? There is no such thing. There is a reform, but it by no means eliminates the "ß". Replacing the "ß" by "ss" can actually be wrong by modern reformed rules, like in "Fuß".

I'd agree with others to _definitely_ keep the spelling of the original, unless you have a very good orthography expert at hand. You can definitely make things a lot worse by just eliminating the "ß", or not following the rules. And even worse, the modern rules are, fortunately, still under discussion, and several newspapers have actually gone back to the old spelling for now.

Just to make this clear: "old" spelling in this context means the spelling that was valid from just after 1900 (AFAIK) until 1996, not anything relevant for Wagner.
