 | The Wagner Journal is a periodical that seeks to examine Wagner and his works from a variety of perspectives – musicological, historical, literary, philosophical and political – and to illuminate the unique appeal of this endlessly fascinating composer. The journal aims to bring the questions surrounding the theory and practice of staging and performing Wagner to a wider audience, in that way furthering our understanding of his operas as theatre. In addition to feature articles, reviews of live performances, books, CDs and DVDs, The Wagner Journal periodically offers new translations of Wagner's prose works, many of which are available only in William Ashton Ellis's notoriously idiosyncratic renderings. The Wagner Journal appears three times a year (March, July and November) and is published both in print form and online. Individual articles are also available for downloading. The journal is published and distributed independently. Wagner in Performance Conference. On Saturday 22 November 2008, in association with St Peter's College and the Faculty of Music, University of Oxford, The Wagner Journal presented a one-day conference exploring the theory and context of Wagner operas in performance. Papers on aspects of singing, conducting and staging were presented by acknowledged experts in the field. These papers are published in the March and July (forthcoming) issues of the journal. | |||||
