The 200th anniversary of the births of Wagner and Verdi will be celebrated as happily as the Triumphal March of “Aida” and the Wedding March of “Lohengrin”.
Or to quote “Parsifal”, “Open the shrine!”
Doing just that, in honor of both bicentennials and the grand art form itself, the Library of Congress’ Music Division will present “A Night at the Opera” exhibit from Aug. 15 through Jan. 24. The display will be at Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall from Feb. 24 through Aug. 17, 2014.
Wagner’s early works Die Feen (The Fairies), Das Liebesverbot (The Ban on Love) and Rienzi, which are not part of the Festival canon, will be performed at both the Leipzig Opera House and in Bayreuth’s Oberfrankenhalle, which is being redesigned especially for this event.
Die Feen (The Fairies) will be performed in Leipzig on 16 February 2024 as the first premiere from the series of Wagner’s early works. The series will be completed by the two premieres of Rienzi and Das Liebesverbot (The Ban on Love) in Bayreuth. From 7 to 14 July 2013, Bayreuth is showcasing Rienzi, Das Liebesverbot and a concert performance of Die Feen. In this cooperation between Wagner’s birthplace and Bayreuth, the town most closely associated with him, Das Liebesverbot will also be premiered in Leipzig in the 2013/14 season after its premiere in Bayreuth.
As performances of the Ring get underway on August 4, a wide variety of new and cherished education programs will enthrall and delight diehard Wagnerites and newcomers alike. Hosted in the Nesholm Family Lecture Hall at McCaw Hall, Seattle Opera’s three signature Symposia bring together artists, scholars, and authors to explore the complexities of Wagner and the Ring. Asher Fisch, Seattle Opera’s Principal Guest Conductor and conductor of the 2013 Ring, speaks at all three Symposia; other presenters include Lydia Goehr, Roger Parker, Kenneth Reinhard, Stephen Wadsworth, Michael Hackett, Mark Berry, François Rochaix, Pamela Rosenberg, Arthur Groos, and Peter Kazaras. Sue Elliott gives her Inside the Ring presentations the morning of each performance day. Immediately before each performance, patrons can attend the entertaining, hour-long Pre-Performance Talks given by Community Programs Manager Robert McClung. And all patrons are welcome to join the discussion at the free Q&A with Speight Jenkins after each performance of Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung. Following performances of Das Rheingold, Speight Jenkins will host Rheingold Revelry, an exclusive champagne reception and late supper open to all Ring full-cycle buyers. Other Ring-related opportunities include investigating technical solutions to the top 10 “problems” in producing any Ring cycle at the Tech Talks with Robert Schaub, the company’s Technical and Facilities Director; a night of new comedy, Wagner Sketches, at Seattle Repertory Theatre once each cycle; and a 2013 special: Speight’s Retrospective, a personal exploration of life with the Ring. And BRAVO! Club’s popular Laser Ring returns to the Pacific Science Center’s Laser Dome for one night only on August 11!
