14 mag 2024 · A theatre created for a single composer: the Bayreuth Festival Theatre. With an auditorium in which his music unfolds like in no other theatre in the world. With no grandeur, reduced to the essential: to experience his works as a celebration. Connoisseurs, friends, skeptics – they all come to the green hill every summer to explore his legacy ...

(Photo: © Enrico Nawrath) As the final cycle of Bayreuth’s 2023 “ Ring des Nibelungen ” came to a close, the air remained electric with the sounds of Wagner’s apocalyptic horns and the swirling raptures of the Rhine.

Andrew Shore to Jim Pritchard / Seen and Heard
I think they achieve tremendous things here. I saw Stefan Herheim’s Parsifal production and although it is not an opera I know particularly well and so didn’t understand everything the director was doing with it, I could see how it all related in some way to the text. It was almost cinematographic with the stage pictures changing as the text moved through. It was very good considering the shortage of rehearsal time you get on stage here. There are seven productions to put on and so there are...
Andrew Shore interview with musicalcriticism.com
"I'm back in Bayreuth in the summer doing Alberich in the ongoing Ring, and I may be back in the following summer or two, I'm not sure. I always enjoy working there – of course, it all boils down to who you're working with but it's a wonderful place to sing. The orchestra is miraculous, absolutely superb. The conductor of the current Ring, Christian Thielemann, is also superb – he really knows the music inside out." Andrew Shore in an interview with musicalcriticism.com(6 April 2008)
Andrew Shore on Singing at Bayreuth
"Every night before I go on stage I have a sense of how special is it to be at Bayreuth and how privileged I am to be part of this tradition. Acoustically, it's pretty much the ideal theatre to sing in. You never feel you are battling against a loud orchestra, and can use the full dynamics of your range and explore vocal colours, while at epic moments, you can also really let rip. There's lots more to Alberich than bombast and the big nasty moments: here, I can explore the part's subtlety and...
Bayreuth is a small city in the middle of Germany. The city is known all over the world for the annual Richard Wagner Festival at the Festspielhaus. The city tries to de-emphasize its relation to the Festival to have an identity based on other qualities (the University for instance), but to most foreigners Bayreuth would not have very exciting had ...

Wolfgang Wagner
Wolfgang Wagner (b. 1919) Although his own conventional productions have been much criticized, he invited more controversial directors like Götz Friedrich, Patrice Chéreau, Harry Kupfer, Jean-Pierre Ponnelle. The first chairs at Bayreuth looked like this. (Villa Wahnfried Museum)
Wieland Wagner and Wolfgang Wagner

"I doubt that the enjoyment of art is furthered by being uncomfortably housed for a week, sleeping badly, eating wretchedly, and after a strenuous five or six hours’ performance of opera, being uncertain of securing a modest snack. […] I only wish to state my increased conviction that a major artistic undertaking belongs in a major city." Eduard Ha...
"The atmosphere at the Festspielhaus has always been very special. We were grilled hard and often on both music and text and the rehearsals were intense, and that has its own fierce attraction. The audience reaction to performances in Bayreuth isextreme with wild and prolonged applause and cheering and also vociferous booing.Our Meistersinger perfo...
Hans Hotter on the importance of Bayreuth in his career: "It was the main point of interest when one was being interviewed by press or radio or television, and of great importance for other engagements."

Waltraud Meier: [Bayreuth operated] on the idea that the opera is a work in progress. I was at Bayreuth for 17 seasons, until 2000. They repeat productions for five to seven years and t...
Bayreuth hatte unter Wieland Wagner eine völlig eigene Wagner-sicht. Heute findet allerdings der ganze Blödsinn des Jahres - von Frau Berghaus und Herrn Neuenfels - im Sommer noch einmal statt. Dann mit Herrn Müller. Bayreuth ist vom Sender, der neue Impulse in die Welt gab, zum Empfänger geworden […] Leider können die jungen Leute seine [Wieland W...
"Bayreuth next day offered a sorry contrast: by 1912 the efforts to keep everything ’as the Master had left it’ were wearing themselves out; the theatre was dusty (curtains included), props shoddy, mise-en-scène prehistoric, the chorus sang woefully out of tune, but the orchestra, and many soloists were magnificent."
