The new YouTube channel of the Richard Wagner Academy of the Dresden Music Festival (Oktober 2025)
The Richard Wagner Academy (RWA) of the Dresden Music Festival is pursuing its desire to continue the work of “The Wagner Cycles.” The ambitious goal of the project is the systematic reconstruction of Richard Wagner’s “Der Ring des Nibelungen” from the perspective and using the methods of historical performance practice. This field of work has given rise to workshops, publications, and much more, enabling the transfer of knowledge from musicology to practice. In the future, these offerings will also be made available to young musicians and the interested public.
Thematically sorted short videos and YouTube Shorts are intended to make the artistic and scientific processes even more visible – and to take all participants and interested parties on a journey with exclusive insights, rehearsal glimpses, concert impressions, and sound samples.
