From German critic, filmmaker, and Wagner enthusiast Axel Brüggermann comes “Global Wagner: From Bayreuth to the World,” a 97-minute look at the thriving, intensely serious but often quite amusing, worldwide devotion to “the Master” and his works. The film travels the world of Wagner afficionados and allows exclusive insights into the Bayreuth Festival, both onstage and behind-the-scenes.

The Wagner Journal praised its skill in "offering us glimpses of how far-flung parts of the world are responding to the Wagnerian spell. . .and the multifarious problematics of Wagnerian experience." Featuring Bayreuth Festival Director Katharina Wagner, conductors Christian Thielemann and Valery Gergeiev, singers Anja Harteros, Catherine Foster, Placido Domingo and Piotr Beczala, directors Barrie Kosky and Yuval Sharon, and author and music critic Alex Ross. For both the uninitiated and seasoned Wagner lover!

A discussion will follow.

Coming in March: Wagner at the Movies!
