Paul Heise’s Interpretation of Wagner’s Ring Cycle.

Eis um excerto do texto de Scruton:
(...)«No composer has ever been more of a philosopher than Richard Wagner, and in none of his works is Wagner more philosophical than in the The Ring of the Nibelung. In this work – surely the greatest drama composed in modern times – Wagner attempts to convey a picture of the human condition that will identify the origins of good and evil, the place of man in the cosmos, and the secret source of human freedom.» (...)

Wagner: moralist or monster?
by Roger Scruton
In: The New Criterion
Eis um interessante excerto do artigo:
(...)
«The Wagner presented by Köhler is a figure damaged from the earliest age by an unloving mother and usurping stepfather, but consoled during childhood and adolescence by the tender love of a favorite sister. Wagner idealized this sister as the good anima of his dreams, and wandered through adult life in the hope of meeting her. Her role was to redeem him, to assuage all guilt, suffering and rejection by sacrificing herself on the altar of his need—and all this not only as a sister but also as a lover and a bride. » (...)

R. Wagner na Humoristische Blätter de Viena
Caricatura de Wagner, por Karl Clic na revista satírica vienense, Humoristische Blätter (1873). Os traços exagerados refectiam as hipotéticas raízes judaicas de Wagner.

WAGNER 1983
Outro excerto do filme de Tony Palmer, aqui com um comentário sobreposto, mas que não diminui a beleza da fotografia de Vittorio Storaro.
Wagner no Cinema e na TV
O elenco era fantástico:
Richard Burton (Richard Wagner)
Vanessa Redgrave (Cosima Liszt, primeira esposa de Hans von Bülow e segunda de Richard Wagner)
Laszlo Galffi (Ludwig II da Baviera)
Ekkehard Schell (Franz Liszt, compositor e pai de Cosima)
Gemma Craven (Minna Planer, primeira esposa de Richard Wagner)
Miguel Herz-Kestranek (Hans von Bülow)
Marthe Keller (Mathilde Wesendonck)
Peter Hofman (Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld, tenor, primeiro Tristão)
Gwyneth Jones (Malvina von Carolsfeld, soprano, primeira Isolda)
Gabriel Byrne (Karl Ritter)
Peter Hofmann e Gwyneth Jones não podiam desempenhar papéis mais convenientes!!!

Um Filme de 1913 sobre Wagner
A realização é de Carl Froelich, o argumento deWilliam Wauer e os
intérpretes são Giuseppe Becce, Olga Engl e Manny Ziener.
«Now an earlier biopic - and one of the earliest of the genre - has emerged and was shown on Monday at the National Film Theatre: Richard Wagner, made in 1913. Wagner was played by Giuseppe Becce, himself a minor composer (who also provided the score, played live on the first showings), and the film was directed by Carl Froelich and William Wauer. Film grammar was still being developed when the film was made, and it follows the then usual practice of preceding each scene with a subtitle explaining what is to follow: the scenes are shot in long sections with a static camera and minimal, or sometimes no, cutting (and no dialogue subtitles): this makes it look a bit wooden to modern eyes, but it is well staged and constructed - and for the most part free of the over-acting common to many early films.»
Há dois links que falam sumariamente do assunto, mas vale a pena ler.

O Festival de Wagner - Wels, Áustria
Tristão e Isolda
«In 1983 the family Just-Doppler acquired the Wels’ hotel Greif with its integrated theatre. Renovating the gem and bringing the stage up to date, Walter Just, the founder of the Trodat-firm and a enthusiastic Wagner admirer, discovered the aforementioned little recess: without doubt this special place was perfect for a Richard Wagner’s bust. (...) The bust was celebrated with a Wagner Concert, which was a tremendous success and the booster detonation to the following. No-one had expected it to become such a great international success.
Systematically and with a lot of love the Wagner project was developed in Wels, the city where Hans Sachs, the main character from „Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg“, spend a few years. After the opening concert in 1989 in the presence of the director of the Bayreuth Festival , Wolfgang Wagner, the initiators decided to organise a gala every year. The splendid celebrations were supported by renowned singers such as Theo Adam, Lisbeth Balslev, Simon Estes, Reiner Goldberg, Sabine Hass, Janis Martin, Uta Priew, Hans Sotin, Bernd Weikl, Heinz Zednik and many others. Finally the prominent stage designer Günther Schneider-Siemssen encouraged the initiators to organise scenical performances. As a result in 1995 “Tristan und Isolde” was performed - with unprecedented success. The audience rush was so huge that the production was repeated the following two years. Other operas like „Die Walküre“, „Siegfried“, „Parsifal“, „Der fliegende Holländer“ and "Lohengrin" followed.»
