We are trying something new this month; a full, or nearly full, list of Wagner performances world wide. Not just full operas but concert performances or concerts with a significant amount of Wagner's work. Whether we continue will depend on how popular this proves. At the very lest we hope that this month will be useful to some of you.All information is subject to change or correction. Please click on more or contact the venue for full, up to date information and tickets before making any travel arrangements.
If, you are a concert hall, performer, etc and we have excluded your performance, please get in touch with full details and we will include.
