The International Vocal Competition 's-Hertogenbosch marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Richard Wagner with the organisation of a Wagner Academy for young professional singers. This special seven-day course will focus on the operas and songs of Richard Wagner and will be held from 22 – 28 September 2013 in the Theater aan de Parade in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.


Internationally-renowned masters
The IVC has engaged internationally-renowned Wagner singers as masters for the Academy. These are soprano Nadine Secunde, mezzo-soprano Dunja Vejzović, tenor Siegfried Jerusalem and baritone Wolfgang Brendel.
The conductor Ed Spanjaard, who recently conducted Wagner’s complete Ring des Nibelungen for the Nationale Reisopera Enschede, will also share his knowledge of Wagner’s music with the singers chosen. 
Peter Lockwood from De Nederlandse Opera and Klaus Sallmann from the Berliner Staatsoper will coach the participants and accompany the master classes.
Introductions to the repertoire are given by musicologists Dr. Etty Mulder, Emeritus Professor of Musicology University of Nijmegen, Dr. Eveline Nikkels and Dr. Catherine Steinegger and conductor Ed Spanjaard.
Audiences
During the Wagner Academy there will be master classes, lectures and films that will be open to the general public. The lectures and films have as a starting point the spectacular staging of the Ring des Nibelungen by director Patrice Chéreau and conductor Pierre Boulez at the Bayreuth Festival in 1976, held in the context of 100 years of Bayreuth. The Wagner Academy fringe programme is part of the project Pierre Boulez and the Intermedial Artwork coordinated by the Pierre Boulez Foundation by Dr. Etty Mulder in collaboration with other musicologists a.o. Dr. Catherine Steinegger and advised by Jan Zekveld artistic director of the philharmonie southern Netherlands.
The Wagner Academy takes place in 's-Hertogenbosch in the Theater aan de Parade. On Wednesday, September 25th there is a Wagner day in the Conservatory of Amsterdam with public master classes, a panel discussion, movie screening and CD presentation by EMI with a Ring children's story containing excerpts fromDer Ring des Nibelungen. The story is written and narrated by Edwin Rutten. The Academy will end on 28 September with a concert in which the singers who have taken part in the Academy will present their Wagnerian repertoire to the public.

Collaboration
The Wagner Academy has been made possible thanks to a collaboration between the IVC and the Pierre Boulez Foundation, the Wagner Society Netherlands, the Gustav Mahler Foundation Netherlands, the Amsterdam Conservatory and the Theatre aan de Parade 's-Hertogenbosch.
