About This Opportunity
The Richard Wagner Scholarship Foundation awards young people between 18 and 35 years old – aspiring singers, instrumentalists, scholars, designers and performers – a _stipendium_ that allows them to visit the Bayreuth Festival with over 200 young people from around the world in an atmosphere of artistry and exchange. _Stipendiaten_ will learn about the development and history of the Festival; attend tours, talks, and concerts; and meet and network with their peers in the opera world.
In addition to attending three opera performances, _stipendiaten_ are offered accommodations, lectures and tours, and social receptions. Awardees are nominated by local Wagner Societies around the world.
Nominees are not limited to vocalists or instrumentalists; our goal is to select the individual best positioned to benefit from the Bayreuth experience in a broad sense. The Wagner Society has previously sponsored a variety of artists, including a scenic designer, vocalists, a filmmaker, a conductor, and an arts administrator.
