The case of Wagner - Wagner and Nietzsche An encounter in songs and texts
Johannes Gärtner's new production takes the audience to Lake Lucerne and Graupa's castle pond.
"It was hard to have to spend six years as an opponent of the man most revered," wrote Friedrich Nietzsche on Wagner's death. In the spring of 1869, a friendship of a century began: the greatest composer of his time and the philologist who was to go down in history as one of the most eloquent philosophers met on Lake Lucerne.
Experience a summer evening with letters, diary entries and dialogues, with songs by Nietzsche and Wagner and witness a friendship that shaped an entire epoch like no other - a feast for the eyes and ears.
