There is a new production of Flying Dutchman with 7 performances, and six nights each of Meistersinger and Tannhäuser revivals.

Andris Nelsons will return for two concerts with the festival orchestra. A third concert will be given by Christian Thielemann.

All very low-key.

Priority ticket sales will be reserved for those who did not claim refunds on last year’s purchases. All other seats will be sold on the website from June 21.

    Kudos to Bayreuth and Germany for having these productions ready to go by summer. Hopefully things do come off.

    Which drag queen is scheduled for the Tannhaueser? I believe the last one slammed the Bayreuth audience and her experience there.
