Moderated musical highlights from the opera “The Flying Dutchman” by Richard Wagner
On Saturday, 27 June 2026, at 8 pm, a moderated concert will also feature musical highlights from the opera “The Flying Dutchman”, complemented by narrative insights into the work, plot, and history of its creation.
The concert is a festive and accessible tribute to Richard Wagner and 150 years of Bayreuth Festival history. The audience can expect an atmospheric summer evening under the open sky, combining great opera art, exciting backgrounds, and lively moderation.
Note: French band instead of choir serenade
On the Wednesday before the Sparda Bank Open Air, the Choir Serenade has taken place in the past years with a lot of choirs from Bayreuth and surroundings. In 2026, this will not take place – to celebrate the 60 years of the Annecy-Bayreuth partnership, there will be a thematically fitting evening event.
More information to be announced.
