Intro

From rejection to veneration: Richard Wagner polarizes more than almost any other composer. The exhibition "Taboo Wagner?" sheds light on his anti-Semitism from a Jewish perspective. Is his work a taboo?

From consistent rejection to devoted admiration: Richard Wagner is probably the most controversial composer of the 19th century. One important reason for this is his anti-Semitism. Hardly any other topic relating to Wagner has been as well researched as his relationship with Judaism.

In the special exhibition "Taboo Wagner? Jewish Perspectives" looks at his anti-Semitism from a different angle: How did and does Wagner affect Jews? How did and do they deal with his hostility towards Jews? Is his work therefore a taboo? The Richard Wagner Museum Lucerne and the Richard Wagner Sites Graupa are addressing these questions. The aim of the exhibition is to make Jewish positions from almost 200 years visible - and to show the complexity of this ambivalent topic.
