The Dresden Music Festival can look forward to a generous donation. The Packard Humanities Institute in Los Altos/California is providing almost 1.7 million euros, as announced by the city of Dresden. The money is earmarked for the project "The Wagner Cycles - Götterdämmerung 2026".
The music festival will combine musical practice and science to create a new kind of sound experience. Since 2023, unknown or forgotten facets of the music have been uncovered on historical instruments and in the singing and speaking style of Wagner's time in the four parts of the "Ring of the Nibelung" and performed throughout Europe.
