This biography of Richard Wagner offers a contemporary and passionate reinterpretation of the life and work of the famous German composer. What emerges is a complex figure, full of contradictions, intense emotions, successes and failures. The narrative, rich in twists and turns, alternates moments of great generosity with acts of profound pettiness. Wagner is portrayed as the protagonist of an almost cinematic story, far removed from stereotypes. The author, Valerio Vicari, also highlights the more controversial aspects of his life. The event will feature cellist Alessandro Guaitolini, enriching the meeting with live music. The book is aimed at those who are curious and passionate about music, theatre and history. Admission is free, with a complimentary copy of the book for those under 25.
