Epilogue to the English Edition of “ Who He Does Not Howl with the Wolf Autobiography of Gottfried Wagner 1 Epilogue to the English edition of “ Who he does not howl with the Wolf Autobiography of Gottfried Wagner (UK: Sanctuary/ April 1998 - USA-Canada: St.Martin’s & Picador, NYC / Fall 1998) When the original German edition of this book appeared at the end of February 1997, I was aware that it was likely to polarize public opinion on the subject of `Richard Wagner in Bayreuth`. But I underestimated international media interest and the subsequent knock-on effect, because I mistakenly assumed that my autobiography would be driven into the background by other passionately conducted discussions in the German-speaking countries on repression of the Nazi period. Fierce controversy had broken out yet again, over Daniel Goldhagen`s book, Hitler`s Willing Executioners, and over the exhibition on the crimes of the German Nazi Wehrmacht in Munich. But in `neutral` Switzerland too, people had been forced to face up to the topic of the repression of Hitler`s barbarism. The overwhelming weight of evidence against the Swiss banks who had done murky business with Nazi gold, in other words with stolen Jewish property, had aroused worldwide attention. The increased international sensitivity to the subject of repression was to work in my favour on discussion of my book. In subsequent reading tours from March to mid December 1997 in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium I made myself available not only for discussion with my readers, but also with the media, in interviews, round table discussions and talk shows. At the same time I was confronted by published reviews of my book. The unusually high pressure resulting from the crossfire of opinions and the constant travelling made it impossible for me to come to any coherent conclusions on these reactions at the time. Like other authors whose books arouse public controversy, I was forced to recognize that opinions on my autobiography had assumed their own dynamic, which only seldom had anything to do with my intentions. At first I found the profusion of reactions to my book confusing, for besides objective articles - such as in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Deutsche Lehrerzeitung, Liechtensteiner Vaterland, Die Presse - others with a conformist tendency appeared, based on vague claims to power, which aimed at preventing constructive criticism of the existing politico-cultural situation within the 2 Bayreuth Redemption Co. Ltd. The similarity of means used against my book by the various conformists in the media scene was striking: simplification and banalization of the subject matter, reminding one of Milan Kundera`s phrase, in his The Book of Laughter and Forgetting: `The struggle of man against power is the struggle of the memory against forgetting.`1 While I was trying to analyse the opinions of the conformist journalists of various provenance, I came across the books The Madness of Normality and False Gods by the psychoanalyst Arno Gruen. In False Gods Gruen sees `the capacity of man from birth to decide over his life. Either his empathy becomes the kernel of his being, or he will constantly try to escape it.` In this sense, for Gruen `human development is always the history of the damage to his abilities`. Hence Gruen distinguishes between `the integrated man, who remains in contact with his inner self and acts accordingly, and the man who focuses outward, who has a divided consciousness and a divided perception. His actions will always be directed against the holistic and in spite of technological progress, offend against life.` 2 In Madness as Normality Gruen describes the split in the inner life of all conformists - therefore in the media too - when dealing with information, in the following way: `In order to rationalize, they have to separate thinking and feeling from one another. Public power is a means for maintaining the inner split. But such a man does not seek power for its own sake, but to find support in it and in order not to disintegrate. Hence he cannot afford any compromises either. Every increase in control enlarges the inner vacuum and of necessity provokes an intensified need for domination. If such people are treated with respect, they will interpret any compliance as weakness. Because for them there is no equality, for them there is only domination and being dominated.`3 Hence Gruen comes to the general conclusion that for the man `who has surrendered to power, there can basically be no equality in social relations. [...] Dealings with other people are determined by strength and weakness. Therefore more and more power must be accumulated. The aim here is to become invulnerable and be able to prove invulnerability.`4 But what do Gruen`s perceptions have to do with the Redemption Co. Ltd in Bayreuth, conformist journalists of all shades and my autobiography? Anyone who has studied some of the striking reactions of the said groups to my book over the past year, will 3 understand the connection. Reactions of the Redemption Co. Ltd and its circles On 28 February 1997 my father, Wolfgang Wagner, to the applause of the Festspiele sponsors, the Society of Friends of Bayreuth, foremost among them President E. Hilger and private banker K.G. Schmidt, described my autobiography as `insulting, defamatory and slanderous`. With reference to the Bayreuth Festspiele he called the book `a considerable impairment and as yet unassessable injury to its international repute`. As in his 1994 autobiography, Acts, in his three-page open letter to the international media he ignored the influence of Wagner`s and Hitler`s antisemitism on the Bayreuth Festspiele and hence on himself and his work. It was clear to me that the city of Bayreuth and the media subservient to the Festspielhügel would now have to take up positions against me, as my attack on the institution of the Festspiele also applied to them. A pleasant surprise for me was that the Redemption Co. Ltd and its circles could neither dominate the international, independent media world in their usual way, with their furtive legal threats, nor with demagogic counter- attacks. On the contrary: hitting out at me helped my book to attract even greater international attention. Because of the stir it caused, it was catapulted into the bestseller lists in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and translations into six different languages have been negotiated. On 10 March 1997 the mayors of the city of Bayreuth issued an open letter in which my book was decried as `malicious agitation` and therefore they refused any serious discussion on the results of Wagner`s antisemitism. But this open letter also brought about the opposite of intentions: discussion flared up anew and international media pressure on the repression paradise of Bayreuth grew. The comparison of my father`s autobiography with mine now became more focused. My wish for a disclosure of the connection between family and German history and the case of the Wagners in Bayreuth was given more and more respect. The Neue Zürcher Zeitung of 12-13 April 1997 acknowledged that `[my] book had rendered a contribution to that critical history of Bayreuth that neither Wieland nor Wolfgang Wagner have provided or provoked`. On the very day of my reading in Bayreuth - 24 April 1997 - I learned from the 4 Nordbayrischer Kurier, which is loyal to the Festspielhügel, that a planned exhibition on my grandmother Winifred Wagner, Hitler`s intimate friend, had been cancelled by the Festspiele. At the end of April the Neue Zürcher Zeitung reported, regarding the official reasons for cancellation: `A still incomplete processing of archive material from all over the world which has only recently become accessible. The in part surprising new facts would first have to be classified according to their historical background, declared Wolfgang Wagner. Selected documents on that part of Festspiele history which is accompanied by manifold prejudices [ = Nazi period] will be published in this year`s Festspiele book` (dpa). The truth was that as a result of the discussions provoked by my book, a German bank had withdrawn its offer to finance the planned pro-Winifred Wagner exhibition. The international media recognized the intention to deceive of the Festspiele administration and frankly expressed doubts on the reasons given for the cancellation. At the opening of the Bayreuth Festspiele on 25 July 1997 they really thought in the Festspiele book that they could hoodwink the world`s media, as the truth of Bayreuth writing of history, that six postcards (from the years 1929 to 1936) from Hitler to Winifred Wagner were the sum total of the correspondence from the Führer to the great lady from 1923 to 1945. The atmosphere during the international press conference on 27 July was correspondingly charged. There were some hard-hitting attacks from the international media regarding the irresponsible treatment of undesirable, incriminating documents before, during and after the Nazi period. In spite of this situation both sponsors and the Festspiele administration kept up the attack against me: on 28 August - at the end of the Festspiele - one could read in the Süddeutsche Zeitung the Festspiele administration`s corrected version of events during the press conference on 27 July: `By “fascist and racist elements”, which Wolfgang Wagner located among many critics [on 27 July 1997], he meant the book by his son Gottfried, not articles by journalists.` In this sense too, the attempts should be interpreted from September on by the chief dramaturg of the Bayreuth Festspiele, in close cooperation with some members of the Society of Friends of Bayreuth to bring their massive influence to bear on German and international public opinion (inter alia in Austria, Britain, the Netherlands and Finland). 5 Two conformist opinions: Seferens and Spotts In the slander campaign waged by the Redemption Co Ltd and their circles, the publication of an article in the Allgemeine Jüdische Wochenzeitung (AJWZ) on 2 May 1997 played a decisive part.

  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

    WAGNER INTOXICATION: LISTENING TO GOTTFRIED H. WAGNER — 1/27/21, Holocaust Remembrance Day “The Truth Nobody Wants to Hear” From Left: Michael Shapiro, Gottfried Wagner, John Corigliano, William M. Hoffman, Lawrence D. Mass, 1995, at the home of Michael Shapiro, Chappaqua, New York _________ Lawrence D. Mass, M.D., a specialist in addiction medicine, is a co- founder of Gay Men’s Health Crisis and was the first to write about 1 AIDS for the press. He is the author of We Must Love One Another or Die: The Life and Legacies of Larry Kramer. He is completing On The Future of Wagnerism, a sequel to his memoir, Confessions of a Jewish Wagnerite. For additional biographical information on Lawrence D. Mass, please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_D._Mass Larry Mass: For Gottfried Wagner, my work on Wagner, art and addiction struck an immediate chord of recognition. I was trying to describe what Gottfried has long referred to as “Wagner intoxication.” In fact, he thought this would make a good title for my book. The subtitle he suggested was taken from the title of his Foreword to my Confessions of a Jewish Wagnerite: “Redemption from Wagner the redeemer: some introductory thoughts on Wagner’s anti- semitism.” The meaning of this phrase, “redemption from the redeemer,” taken from Nietzsche, is discussed in the interview with Gottfried that follows these reflections. Like me, Gottfried sees the world of Wagner appreciation as deeply affected by a cultish devotion that from its inception was cradling history’s most irrational and extremist mass-psychological movement.

  • Staging Der Ring Des Nibelungen
    John Lindner Professor Weinstock Staging Der Ring des Nibelungen: The Revolutionary Ideas of Adolphe Appia and their Roots in Schopenhaurean Aesthetic Principles “For Apollo was not only the god of music; he was also the god of light.” - Glérolles: April, 1911) Richard Wagner’s set design in Der Ring des Nibelungen differed from that of later adaptations in the 20th century. Before Wieland and Wolfgang Wagner, the grandsons of the composer, allowed for modern stage design theory to penetrate the walls of Bayreuth, nothing in the production of Wagner’s operas was noticeably changed since his death. Richard Wagner disliked the two-dimensional sets he was accustomed to using, composed of highly ornamental and richly painted backdrops that strove for a natural realism. For all his genius in operatic creation (specifically the musical composition), Wagner never fully challenged the contemporary method of staging in Der Ring des Nibelungen. In his writings he bemoans having to deal with them at all, yet never does anything of much significance about it. The changes he made were topical in nature, such as the sinking the orchestra pit at the Bayreuth. Shortly after Wagner’s death, Adolphe Appia (1862-1928) led a revolution in stage design, letting light and the movement of the actors, as determined by the music, to sculpt spaces. Appia saw the 1 ability for light to change and shape feelings, much in the same way that Wagner’s music did. A stage comprised of objects with three-dimensional depth allowed for different lighting conditions, not only by location of the physical lights and their direction, but more importantly, by letting the light react off of the stage and characters in a delicate precision of lit form, shade and shadow.

  • Notes on Wagner's Ring Cycle
    THE RING CYCLE BACKGROUND FOR NC OPERA By Margie Satinsky President, Triangle Wagner Society April 9, 2019 Wagner’s famous Ring Cycle includes four operas: Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried, and Gotterdammerung. What’s so special about the Ring Cycle? Here’s what William Berger, author of Wagner without Fear, says: …the Ring is probably the longest chunk of music and/or drama ever put before an audience. It is certainly one of the best. There is nothing remotely like it. The Ring is a German Romantic view of Norse and Teutonic myth influenced by both Greek tragedy and a Buddhist sense of destiny told with a sociopolitical deconstruction of contemporary society, a psychological study of motivation and action, and a blueprint for a new approach to music and theater.” One of the most fascinating characteristics of the Ring is the number of meanings attributed to it. It has been seen as a justification for governments and a condemnation of them. It speaks to traditionalists and forward-thinkers. It is distinctly German and profoundly pan-national. It provides a lifetime of study for musicologists and thrilling entertainment. It is an adventure for all who approach it. SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE RING CYCLE Wagner was extremely critical of the music of his day. Unlike other composers, he not only wrote the music and the libretto, but also dictated the details of each production. The German word for total work of art, Gesamtkunstwerk, means the synthesis of the poetic, visual, musical, and dramatic arts with music subsidiary to drama. As a composer, Wagner was very interested in themes, and he uses them in The Ring Cycle in different ways.

  • Wagner) Vortrag Am 21
    Miriam Drewes Die Bühne als Ort der Utopie (Wagner) Vortrag am 21. August 2013 im Rahmen der „Festspiel-Dialoge“ der Salzburger Festspiele 2013 Anlässlich des 200. Geburtstags von Richard Wagner schreibt Christine Lemke-Matwey in „Der Zeit“: „Keine deutsche Geistesgröße ist so gründlich auserzählt worden, politisch, ästhetisch, in Büchern und auf der Bühne wie der kleine Sachse mit dem Samtbarrett. Und bei keiner fällt es so schwer, es zu lassen.“1 Allein zum 200. Geburtstag sind an die 3500 gedruckte Seiten Neuinterpretation zu Wagners Werk und Person entstanden. Ihre Bandbreite reicht vom Bericht biographischer Neuentdeckungen, über psychologische Interpretationen bis hin zur Wiederauflage längst überholter Aspekte in Werk und Wirkung. Inzwischen hat die Publizistik eine Stufe erreicht, die sich von Wagner entfernend vor allen Dingen auf die Rezeption von Werk und Schöpfer richtet und dabei mit durchaus ambivalenten Lesarten aufwartet. Begegnet man, wie der Musikwissenschaftler Wolfgang Rathert konzediert, Person und Werk naiv, begibt man sich alsbald auf vermintes ideologisches Terrain,2 auch wenn die Polemiken von Wagnerianern und Anti-Wagnerianern inzwischen nicht mehr gar so vehement und emphatisch ausfallen wie noch vor 100 oder 50 Jahren. Selbst die akademische Forschung hat hier, Rathert zufolge, nur wenig ausrichten können. Immerhin aber zeigt sie eines: die Beschäftigung mit Wagner ist nicht obsolet, im Gegenteil, die bis ins Ideologische reichende Rezeption führe uns die Ursache einer heute noch ausgesprochenen Produktivität vor Augen – sowohl diskursiv als auch auf die Bühne bezogen. Ich möchte mich in diesem Vortrag weniger auf diese neuesten Ergebnisse oder Pseudoergebnisse konzentrieren, als vielmehr darauf, in wieweit der Gedanke des Utopischen, der Richard Wagners theoretische Konzeption wie seine Opernkompositionen durchdringt, konturiert ist.

  • My Fifty Years with Wagner
    MY FIFTY YEARS WITH RICHARD WAGNER I don't for a moment profess to be an expert on the subject of the German composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner and have not made detailed comments on performances, leaving opinions to those far more enlightened than I. However having listened to Wagnerian works on radio and record from the late 1960s, and after a chance experience in 1973, I have been fascinated by the world and works of Wagner ever since. I have been fortunate to enjoy three separate cycles of Der Ring des Nibelungen, in Bayreuth 2008, San Francisco in 2011 and Melbourne in 2013 and will see a fourth, being the world's first fully digitally staged Ring cycle in Brisbane in 2020 under the auspices of Opera Australia. I also completed three years of the degree course in Architecture at the University of Quensland from 1962 and have always been interested in the monumental buildings of Europe, old and new, including the opera houses I have visited for performance of Wagner's works. It all started in earnest on September 29, 1973 when I was 28 yrs old, when, with friend and music mentor Harold King of ABC radio fame, together we attended the inaugural orchestral concert given at the Sydney Opera House, in which the legendary Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson opened the world renowned building singing an all Wagner programme including the Immolation scene from Götterdämmerung, accompanied by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by a young Charles Mackerras. This event fully opened my eyes to the Ring Cycle - and I have managed to keep the historic souvenir programme.
