Idea - 7 years of RWV Ammersee

In the opera The Flying Dutchman by Richard Wagner, the cursed sailor comes ashore again after seven years to find redemption in the love of a woman.

We, the Richard Wagner Association Ammersee, celebrate our seventh anniversary in 2022. What could be more obvious than to let the sailor go ashore with us on Lake Ammersee?

We are a young association consisting of 150 members, united in our enthusiasm for Richard Wagner's work and the desire to maintain this treasure and to carry as many different people as possible along this path. Since the beginning, we have tried to form a network of well-known, experienced artists and young, up-and-coming talents. In doing so, we are not only happy about every culture lover on a national, even international level, we are especially concerned about the people and the cultural offerings, especially those of Richard Wagner, in the region around Lake Ammersee. Since our foundation, we have already organised several events, concerts, discussions and flash mobs with a highly positive response. 

Idea - The Opera

Now we are venturing one to three steps further and would like to perform Richard Wagner's opera The Flying Dutchman in July 2022.

It is a work in three acts, the shortest compared to his other operas, with a total length of about 2.5 hours. It is exciting, entertaining and is therefore often taken as an introductory piece for young and old, so it is often at the beginning of the Wagner addiction.

We would like to perform the complete opera with soloists and choir, only the otherwise over 100 instrument orchestra will be replaced by two pianos and a double bass, a horn and an oboe.

You can read about it in the attachment below (in German).
