Guide to the Richard Wagner Complete Edition Now Available

Concert programs and opera company schedules are rich with performances of works by Richard Wagner this year in celebration of the composer's bicentenary. January alone sees a wealth of performances, including Rienzi, The Last of the Tribunes at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, The Flying Dutchman at the Hungarian State Opera, and Tannhäuser und der Sängerkrieg auf Wartburg at the New National Theatre in Tokyo, Japan.

As a compliment to the year’s bicentennial productions, Schott Music's new Richard Wagner Complete Edition makes available for the first time the complete output of Richard Wagner in critical form. In addition to the now reliable and scholarly engravings of Wagner’s most beloved works, the Complete Edition also makes available numerous hitherto unknown, unpublished, and alternate versions of his works. To help conductors, programmers and producers navigate the edition, a new Richard Wagner Performance Materials and Versions brochure is now available from Schott. The brochure serves as an essential guide to information on new orchestral material and piano reductions of Wagner’s major operas, suggestions for concert programming with operatic excerpts and concert works, as well as a detailed listing of works by contemporary composers that reference Wagner's music.
