The Richard Wagner Festival Theater on the Green Hill in Bayreuth. It was built in the years 1872-75 by Otto Brückwald according to designs by Richard Wagner in the Hellenistic Romantic style. Unlike most opera houses, it does not have a permanent ensemble and every year, from July 25 to August 28, operas and music dramas by Wagner are performed in 30 performances as part of the Bayreuth Festival. It is considered one of the opera houses with the best acoustics in the world.

Hiking

Not just a place to linger during the festival season. Be sure to take a tour of the Festspielhaus (due to rehearsals and performances not possible from June to August)

The Festival Hall was finally opened on August 13, 1876 with the Rheingold, which marked the beginning of the first cyclical performance of the Ring of the Nibelung. Due to the deficit from the first festival, the house stood empty for six years, and the next festival was not held until 1882 with the premiere of Parsifal. For Ludwig II's visit to the festival in 1882, the house was extended to include the "King's Building" at the front, but the shy king did not attend the festival again.
