About Richard Wagner Festival

The Festival Theater on 'the green slope' outside Bayreuth is a standout amongst the most prestigious social establishments in Germany. The outwardly sub-par building was outlined by Wagner himself as the ideal place to perfom his iant of current musical drama, where the music and stage settings would make a flawless emotional affair. Wagner had communicated his desire for a perfect area to make his vision back in the 1850s yet it wasn't until 20 years after the fact that he began to transform that fantasy into a real development venture.

Wagner had no genuine association with Bayreuth, yet the town was well known as a social focus. An area which was far from the diversions and governmental issues of the significant urban communities, yet still moderately near crowds and rich patrons was ideal for Wagner. He went to the town in 1871 pulled in by the possibility of the abnormally expansive stage in the Margravial Opera House, in spite of the fact that he found the moderately little onlooker limit and sightlines unacceptable for his motivations. The town assisted with his undertaking, giving arrive on 'the green slope' simply outside the middle.

In any case, in spite of his eminence and his past connection to the Baian ruler Ludwig II, Wagner was bothered by absence of assets amid the building work. It was fortunate, hence, that his managing standards were to disentangle the outside gear of the customary musical show house and to focus on making a scene with no diversions. The assembly room was produced using wood in light of its reverberation; the ensemble pit was secured over so that there were no visual diversions; and the wooden lines of seats made as an amphitheater giving great perspectives for all guests.
