A song evening full of sound colors in the historic House Wahnfried
On August 13, 2026, when the hall in the House Wahnfried fills with fine song singing, Bayreuth's musical past meets an evening full of present. Katharina Magiera, alto, and Hilko Dumno at the piano create a song evening with works by Johannes Brahms, Xavier Montsalvatge, Manuel de Falla, and Hugo Wolf – a program that places intimacy, expression, and luminous textual interpretation at the center.
Historic space, immediate closeness
The Richard Wagner Museum describes the hall in the House Wahnfried as a special place for concerts outside regular museum hours. The historical atmosphere, the small hall size, and the proximity between stage and audience create a concert experience that makes every nuance audible. The space is barrier-free, offers up to 96 seats according to the city’s event overview, and is located at Richard-Wagner-Straße 48 in 95444 Bayreuth.
A program between longing and character
The selection of works promises an evening with cleverly constructed dramaturgy. Brahms and Wolf represent the great German song tradition, while de Falla and Montsalvatge open the view into southern sound worlds. It is precisely this mix that creates the charm: fine orchestration in the piano, precise word explication, and a stage performance that does not rely on size but on concentration, tension, and emotional density.
Katharina Magiera and Hilko Dumno with song competence
Katharina Magiera has been part of the ensemble of the Frankfurt Opera since 2009/10; there she regularly performs in central roles and also in song evenings. The Munich State Opera refers to her repertoire from Hänsel to Schwertleite, while the Frankfurt Opera highlights her regular song programs. Hilko Dumno is documented as a pianist in numerous concert and song evening configurations, including on Operabase. For this evening, a cast is set that builds on precision, partnership, and musical experience.
Bayreuth in late summer: concentrated, close, compelling
The date in the middle of August gives the evening a special aura. Between museum architecture, the courtyard garden, and the ringing memory of Wagner’s house, a song evening unfolds that does not need to be loud to resonate long after. Those who love the special magic of art song will experience an evening where voice and piano illuminate every color.
Conclusion: This song evening in House Wahnfried connects great song art with one of the most atmospherically dense concert venues in Bayreuth. Anyone wanting to experience Katharina Magiera and Hilko Dumno live should mark this date.
