Battered Bayreuth rolls out three years at once
OperaUnder fire for slow ticket sales, Katharina Wagner has rolled out the highlights of the next three summers.
Semyon Bychkov will conduct Tristan next year and Daniele Gatti will take Tannhäuser in 2025, quelling murmurs about inferior maestros. Philippe Jordan will take over the Ring from Pietari Inkinen. No further dates have been set for the former music director Christian Thielemann.
In 2026, all 10 Wagner operas will be staged for the festival’s 150th anniversary, including Rienzi which has not been seen at Bayreuth before.
