From 2025: “Festspielhaus Intensive”

During the 90-minute tour, you will see the foyer, the King’s Building, the orchestra pit, and, if possible, the stage or other rooms such as the workshop yard or the rehearsal stages.

Prepare to be amazed! As a highlight, you will experience a musical recording at the end of the tour in the auditorium.

Individual visitors: €30.00 per person

Group tours outside these dates can be booked at the Bayreuth Tourist Information.

The entrance for tours is on the west side (street side) of the Festspielhaus. Admission for public tours is 10 minutes before the tour begins; tickets are available at the box office for cash payment only (no card payment possible).

However, a planned tour can also be canceled at short notice if, for example, there are technical installations or renovations in the Festspielhaus.

Currently, there is no mask requirement. However, we recommend wearing an FFP2 mask or at least a medical face mask.
