Description:
The question of 19th century German composer Richard Wagners personal and musical anti-Semitism became a topic of enormous controversy during and after World War II, when Wagners children welcomed Hitler to Bayreuth, the scene of the annual Wagnerian opera festival. Arguments about this question, however, often seem to deadlock in rival claims of bad man and great music. This panel will attempt to expand the discussion by focusing on the following issues: what does Wagner actually say in his infamous essay, Jewishness in Music? Moreover, how do contemporary productions of Wagners operas reflect or deflect the question of anti-Semitism in his works. Join Leon Botstein (President of Bard College and conductor of the American Philharmonic), David J. Levin (University of Chicago), and Kenneth Reinhard (UCLA), in a discussion of composer Richard Wagner, his politics and his music.
In conjunction with Ring Festival LA, a citywide series of special exhibitions, performances, symposia and events centered on LA Operas upcoming presentation of Wagners Ring cycle, the first time that the epic masterwork will be presented in its entirety in Los Angeles.
