Humperdinck, Liszt and the other Wagner

Siegfried Wagner, the Bayreuth composer »from a different mould« and son of Richard Wagner, wrote 16 operas during the late German Empire and into the Weimar Republic – three of them premiered in Hamburg. Kammersänger Roman Trekel (Berlin State Opera), Nadja Kristi and British composer David Robert Coleman promise an exciting evening. They will be accompanied by soloists from the Berlin State Orchestra. Excerpts from Siegfried Wagner’s late Romantic operas will be performed. Works by his grandfather Franz Liszt and his teacher Engelbert Humperdinck will frame the moderated evening, which, with the aid of projections, will shed light on the life of this important composer, who long stood in the shadow of his famous father.
