Global Wagnerism Study Day

This event will be a gathering of scholars from different disciplines and parts of the world. Each of the nine papers presented will highlight the enduring impact of Richard Wagner on Western and non-Western art from the late 19th century to the present.

Across three panels, there will be presentations on Bayreuth as a global centre and Wagnerism in Europe, the US, Japan, Burkina Faso and Australia, as well as theoretical reflections on Wagner's claims of universality.

The event is organised by British Academy International Fellows Adeline Heck of the School of Modern Languages at St Andrews and Timothy Anderson of the University of East Anglia, with contributions from Nicholas Vazsonyi (Clemson), Michael Downes (St Andrews), Martijn Vincken (KU Leuven), Kerry Murphy (Melbourne), Sasha Savannah Doster (Columbia), Emma Sutton (St Andrews), Josh Torabi (UCL), Brooke Okazaki (Carleton College), Sarah Hegenbarth (Heidelberg) and John Deathridge (KCL).

The study day will be followed by a concert from 5.30pm to 6.30pm at the Laidlaw Music Centre.
