Internationally-renowned masters
The IVC engaged internationally-renowned Wagner singers as masters for the Academy. These were soprano Nadine Secunde, tenor Siegfried Jerusalem and baritone Wolfgang Brendel. The conductor Ed Spanjaard, who recently conducted Wagner’s complete Ring des Nibelungen for the Nationale Reisopera, also shared his knowledge of Wagner’s music with the singers chosen. Peter Lockwood from Amsterdam Opera DNO and Klaus Sallmann from the Berliner Staatsoper coached the participants and accompanied the master classes.
