What a joke.
You mean you only now heard about the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth, thought “hey, maybe I should check it out!” and are terribly disappointed that people who would do absolutely everything to attend and have informed themselves ages ago on how to do that managed to get in before you?
What a joke indeed.
You are welcome!
That’s like signing up for a root canal. If Wagner saw what Bayreuth has become, he would mercy-kill it himself.

Any insight on why Parsifal is in concert form?
Only one new production a year, and that is the Dutchman, but they need to fill out the schedule because Lohengrin (for whatever – Covid? – reason) is not being given again until next year.

I would hope at least that details of the production would be available to purchasers before they decided to invest the amount of money necessary for tickets and the trip only to find that the lead characters in Parsifal were SpongeBob Squarepants, Captain Jack Sparrow, Carrot Top, and Moms Mabley.
