Wagner Reloaded-Live in Leipzig

Wagner Reloaded-Live in Leipzig is the first live album and eleventh album overall by the Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica. It was released on 15 November 2013 in Finland and 18 November 2013 elsewhere. It was released three years after their previous studio album 7th Symphony. The time period allowed the band to prepare for a special live event to celebrate the anniversary of Richard Wagner's 200th Birthday. On 5–6 July 2013 the Leipzig Arena witnessed the sold-out première of Wagner Reloaded. This was a joint venture between German choreographer Gregor Seyffert and Apocalyptica. The event witnessed a blend of dance performances, circus and theatre arts, audiovisual effects, and live music.

To remember this event a state-of-the-art Live CD of Wagner Reloaded was released featuring Apocalyptica and the MDR Symphony Orchestra. The music is influenced by the overall work of Wagner, but is written by Apocalyptica's Eicca Toppinen. It therefore represents an album of new Apocalyptica material that is entirely instrumental.
