  • Summary

    This chapter explores the tension between mobility and immobility in the performance of Wagner’s works in the late nineteenth century, highlighting how their production beyond Europe (often by touring companies) and the growth of global Wagnerism took place alongside the growth of the Bayreuth enterprise, which increasingly fixed them in place, at least on an imaginative level. The chapter touches on key premiere dates for Wagner’s works beyond Europe, as well as Wagner’s own engagement with projects to present his works globally. It then turns to the touring opera companies that took Wagnerian music drama on the road (or rail, or wave), examining the challenges they faced in doing so.
