Richard Wagner – The Drag Queen

  • Oct 30, 2025, 6:00 PM
  • Ballhaus Ost

Queer contemporary opera performance

"Richard Wagner is a drag queen, and Shlomi Moto Wagner's great-grandfather was her drag mother. Together, they share not only family roots, but also a drag heritage in the Jewish House of Mazeltov. This pseudo-documentary musical theater performance delves into forgotten rumors and repressed facts about Wagner's personality: his obsession with pink, his scandalous satin orders, and the question of whether hiding his desires was related to the hatred he simultaneously projected onto the world. Could this opera be his belated coming-out statement? Between classical Wagner motifs, electronic beats, lip-syncing, video projections, and lots of pink satin, a queer musical theater ritual for the 21st century emerges."

Von und mit Shlomi Moto Wagner u. a.
