Our Motto: To Learn, To Teach, To Share

Welcome!

The Wagner Society of New York is the largest in North America. Established in 1977, we are celebrating our 46th anniversary this year!

Please visit this website often, for many reasons: information, updates, and links to upcoming events; excerpts from our tri-monthly publication Wagner Notes; information for members only to apply for Bayreuth Festival tickets; access to our extensive catalogue of Wagner-related books and other valuable products (with member discounts); and links to many other Wagner organizations and institutions.

WSNY Membership for the season (September 2022-August 2023) is here! If you’ve already paid, many thanks. We are considering the best ways to bring you our programs, and will announce these via e-mail and social media. Your membership is vital to support our endeavors and to assist promising singers with grants and performances.
