"Taboo Wagner? Jewish Perspectives"
A special exhibition at the "Richard Wagner Museum" in the Landhaus Tribschen near Lucerne focuses on the Jewish reception of Wagner.
The exhibition has been on display in four rooms on the upper floor of the Tribschener Landhaus since April. Wagner lived there from 1866 to 1872 and in 1869 published his essay written in Zurich in 1850 Judaism in music newly published as a brochure.
The exhibition Taboo Wagner? Jewish perspectives sheds light on Wagner's anti-Semitism from a different perspective. It poses questions: How did and does Wagner affect Jews? How did and do they deal with his hostility towards Jews? Is his work therefore a taboo? According to the museum, the exhibition aims to make Jewish positions from almost 200 years visible and show the complexity of the topic.
The special exhibition was curated by Franziska Gallusser, "Richard Wagner Museum", in collaboration with Tom Adler, Richard-Wagner-Stätten Graupa. It lasts until November 28, 2025. Specific accompanying events and themed tours are listed on the website.
