About

Giving singers the opportunity to coach, rehearse, and perform a full Wagner opera, off book, with a complete cast since 2017.

What We Do

Berlin Wagner Gruppe presents full performances of Wagner operas in concert and semi-staged format. We operate by collective collaboration - performers share both costs and profits. It provides singers with the opportunity to study, rehearse, and perform a full Wagner role with a complete cast, and it gives our audience the unique opportunity to hear Wagner (and Wagnerians!) up close and personal.

Leadership

Founded in 2017, BWG operates as a collective collaboration - performers share both costs and profits associated with the full process, from first rehearsal to final performance. BWG provides the infrastructure for singers to rehearse complete Wagner operas. BWG handles all scheduling, cost divisions, venue requirements, casting, and marketing. Berlin Wagner Gruppe (in conjunction with its sister non-profit, Berlin Wagner Group, Inc) will mount at least one production a year, with performances both in North America and in Europe, as soon as it is feasible and safe to do so.
