In May 2017 a play You Will Not Play Wagner by South African writer Victor Gordon had its world premiere in Sydney. It shows the conflict between a wealthy patron of a conducting competition, a Holocaust survivor, and a young Israeli conductor who wants to conduct Wagner. The Wagner Society in NSW publicised the production and a number of members attended the production.
In September 2017, conductor Asher Fisch celebrated the 90th anniversary of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra with 2 concerts of music by Richard Wagner which he believes is the greatest challenge for orchestras. In August 2018, he will conduct Tristan and Isolde with Stuart Skelton and Eva-Marie Westbroek in Perth.
