Der Fall Wagner

Premiere 18.04.2024 - Festspielhaus Erl - Tyrol

In his dance piece The Wagner Case, Enrique Gasa Valga analyzes the controversial and fascinating figure of Wagner and does so with the utmost respect and curiosity. His ballet is based on intense key moments that shaped the life and artistic work of the legendary composer, writer and conductor.

His education, his love, his political interests and relationships, his worries and struggles, his fame, his faith, his failures, his travels through countries and human emotions, all revolutionized music theater and had a significant impact on his artistic work and personality, ultimately giving him the importance that Wagner still holds today.

"He was a man with incredible sensitivity but firm ideas, and that's why he was loved and hated in equal measure," says Enrique Gasa Valga.
