Discussion "Jewish Perspectives Today"
What do Jewish people think of Wagner and his music today? Why do some appreciate his compositions even though he held anti-Semitic views? How could we deal with his contradictory work in the future? How is Wagner perceived by members of the Jewish community in Switzerland? These and other questions will be explored by Jewish studies expert Prof Dr Christian Rutishauser from the University of Lucerne in conversation with the President of the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities, Ralph Friedländer.

SONG RECITAL hermann levi
Worn down by anti-Semitic hostility, the Wagner conductor Hermann Levi died in May 1900 at the age of 60. His compositions were forgotten - shortly before the National Socialists seized power, the star tenor Richard Tauber recorded his most famous song ‘Der letzte Gruss’ with the Odeon Orchestra. Bass-baritone René Perler and pianist Edward Rushton have dedicated themselves to Levi's unknown songs in their recording of the same name. These will now be presented in the salon of the Richard Wagner Museum - combined with works by the Jewish composer James Simon, which are also still waiting to be rediscovered.
Admission: CHF 30
