Berlin Wagner Gruppe aims to bring the operas of Richard Wagner directly to audiences and communities of New England and beyond through innovative planning and performances. BWG auditions, selects, and trains opera singers in a holistic manner, filling the unavoidable gap between conservatory and a career as a Wagnerian singer. BWG then presents complete performances of Wagner operas in concert and semi-staged format, utilizing traditional and non-traditional venues, breaking down barriers to give audiences the unique opportunity to hear and engage with Wagners operas, and Wagnerians, up close and personal.
