[edit] Comment

Please keep information pertinent to the Bayreuth Festival (such as performance schedules, ticket information, history, etc etc) on the Festival's article page. This article should be devoted to the structural, architectural innovations of the Festspielhaus, not general info on the festival itself. Dottore So 10:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)


The Bayreuth Festspielhaus was not designed by Gottfried Semper. It was designed by Otto Brueckwald, an architect from Leipzig. Richard Wagners Ideas based on the discussion with Semper during his swiss exile.

[edit] Design

It appears that the original design was much more ambitious, as the current appearence is modest, and relatively free of the typical ornamentation of the period. I placed the designs in the gallery but they are not consistent with the actual building when you compare the pictures.Ekem 03:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Insides?

Though the inside is described in some detail, there are no pictures of the inside. These would be greatly helpful.RSido (talk) 03:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
