Interdisciplinary reading of the "Ring" for the Ring of the Nibelung

Flanking the production of the Valkyrie from Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung planned by the State Theatre of Lower Bavaria in the spring of 2020, and in cooperation with the Chair of Modern German Literature, the Professorship of Medieval German Literature will be organising a public reading of the Ring from April / May to July 2021, with the aim of presenting Wagner's opera tetralogy "The Ring of the Nibelung" in its entirety. Lectures by experts will focus on Wagner's sources, his language, his libretti, his oeuvre as a whole, the individual operas and various other topics. The series is to be rounded off by a workshop interview with director Stefan Tilch and other participants in the Valkyrie production.
