During the anniversary season in 2026, young music fans up to the age of 25 will again have the opportunity to attend selected performances (Rienzi on 3 August, Walküre on 5 August, Siegfried on 7 August, Rheingold on 12 August, Götterdämmerung on 16 August, Der fliegende Holländer on 18 August and Parsifal on 25 August) at a reduced price.

Thanks to the generous support of the Society of Friends of Bayreuth, Wagner for Starters tickets cost only €50 this year.

The number of tickets is limited, so it pays to be quick!
