When one hears the name Richard Wagner, “comedy” might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Indeed, renowned critics simply denied him the talent for “uninhibited cheerfulness”. Bayreuth Discourse puts on rose-tinted glasses, throws pathos and profundity overboard, and illuminates Richard Wagner as an entertainer.
Concept and Moderation: Patrick Hahn
Featuring, among others, Thorleifur Örn Arnarsson, Alex Ross, Matthias Davids, and Michael Kupfer-Radecky
