GLOBAL WAGNER

From Bayreuth to the World

“A special film presentation.”

October 2023 @ Date TBA

at the Colburn School

This is not a biography of Richard Wagner, nor is it a musicological analysis of his work. This is a documentary dedicated solely to the world’s fascination with the man, and an exploration of the question as to how such a massive following developed around this highly controversial artist. We will travel the world to meet devoted Wagnerians and those most intimately involved in commenting on and producing his work today, including Katharina Wagner, Christian Thielemann, Alex Ross, and more… This event will be recorded for our members who cannot attend the live event and will be available in the WSSC Media Archives.
