Description

In 33 approaches, the author Sabine Zurmühl draws a more differentiated picture of Cosima Wagner, who today is mainly associated with anti-Semitism and artistic stubbornness. Their long life, which is exposed to scandals, is riddled with many breaks and the change of stays and languages. The daughter of the star pianist Franz Liszt and the French aristocrat Marie dAgoult, who is married to the conductor Hans von Bülow, freely and courageously decides on the scandalous love affair with Richard Wagner, protecting and supporting the composer on his way to recognition. After Wagners death, she established the Bayreuth Festival and thus wrote theater history. With her passion, her independence, her tenacity and her unswerving clarity as a person of public interest, Cosima Wagner lived a provocative and in her own way self-determined life beyond given rules and norms.
