Hello, I am Luis.

I am from Argentina, have lived in Germany since 2013, and call Nuremberg home. Wagner Welten is my attempt to translate a deep fascination into a digital world.

01 / Personal

Why Wagner Welten?

It is not only the music that fascinates me. It is the whole system around it: the operas, their figures and ideas, the theatres, the places, the journeys, the history of a performance and that particular moment before an orchestra begins.

Many Wagner websites are valuable archives, but they often feel like reference works. I wanted to build a place that is not only read, but entered. A place that creates curiosity and then remains practical: Which opera have I not seen? Where is it playing? Which Wagner places lie along my journey?

02 / Perspective

Three doors into Wagner.

Wagner Welten is an independent author-led project. It brings together theatrical interpretation, dependable orientation and the pleasure of discovering more for yourself.

Enter the operas

Each work should have its own rhythm, visual language and dramaturgy. Not a dry summary, but a first step into a distinct theatrical world.

Follow the traces

Homes, theatres, museums, monuments and landscapes tell Wagner's story beyond the Festspielhaus. Separate places can become a personal journey.

Find the performances

The works remain alive on contemporary stages. Wagner Welten should show where they are being performed and where a rarely seen opera may suddenly appear within reach.

03 / Invitation

For the curious, the traveller and the returning listener.

This site is for people meeting Wagner for the first time and for those who have listened for years. You can enter an opera, prepare a journey, or simply carry one thought away and return later.
