The conference is dedicated to significant anniversaries: 150 years since the premiere of the tetralogy "The Ring of the Nibelung" in Bayreuth and 250 years since the birth of Hoffmann. The themes of the conference revolve around the figures of Richard Wagner and Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, who played a crucial role in the development of world art. Conference participants will turn to Wagner as a composer, art theorist, and thinker of his era. They will discuss how Wagner's ideas continue to influence theater, literature, philosophy, and humanities research in the 21st century. The focus will be on his ideas about musical theater, the synthesis of arts, myth, mystery, and national identity. The program topics will be of interest to those engaged in academic music, cultural history, opera, theater, literature, and philosophy. The program is designed for a wide audience.
