Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari through the lens of Venice, Munich, and Ottobrunn
The exhibition Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari - Between Venice, Munich, and Ottobrunn opens on 26.09.2026 at the Wolf-Ferrari-Haus and takes visitors on a cultural-historical quest. The focus is on the life and work of the composer Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (1876–1948), his early years at the beginning of his international career, and the life phase closely connected to Ottobrunn and the Hohembrunn area. Admission is free. ([wfh-ottobrunn.de](https://wfh-ottobrunn.de/event/ermanno-wolf-ferrari-zwischen-venedig-muenchen-und-ottobrunn/))
A composer between Italy and Munich
Wolf-Ferrari combined Italian elegance with German compositional art and became particularly known for his operas and chamber music works. The official biography of the composer outlines a profile between Venice, Munich, and an artistic development that was early influenced by painting, drawing, and music. His operas such as Le donne curiose, Il segreto di Susanna, and I gioielli della Madonna mark him as an independent voice at the intersection of late romanticism, operatic tradition, and delicate character depiction.

Ottobrunn as a place of memory
The exhibition not only shows historical documents but also illustrates the significance of Ottobrunn for the composer and how the community remembers him to this day. Letters, other documents, and a dedicated area for memory culture make it clear that this is not merely a anniversary format, but a multifaceted examination of the works with local relevance. In the north foyer, the opening of the Wolf-Ferrari-Haus 40 years ago as a cultural and event center is also honored; the model by architects Gert Goergens and Rudolf Miklautz is also on display.

Curated as an aesthetic and educational experience
The setup of the exhibition aims for comprehensible cultural education: biographical stations, historical contexts, and integration into the Munich and Italian music world enter into a precise dialogue. The exhibition takes place with the kind support of the Bavarian State Library Munich and is supported by the municipality of Ottobrunn, Wolf-Ferrari-Haus, Otto König von Griechenland Museum, vhs SüdOst in the district of Munich, and the Rosmarie-Theobald Music School Ottobrunn. This creates an art experience that consistently connects research, mediation, and memory.
