Children’s Opera

PARSIFAL

In the 2023 festival season, the Bayreuth Festival will present a version of Richard Wagner’s “Parsifal” created especially for children as part of the “Wagner for Children” project.

As in previous years, music will be provided by the Brandenburg State Orchestra Frankfurt (Oder).
The premiere of the children’s opera will take place on July 25, 2023 at 11 a.m. on rehearsal stage 4 of the Bayreuth Festival. Nine more performances will follow until August 04, 2023.

The children’s opera is aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 12. We ask for your understanding that we cannot grant admission to children under the age of five.

The ambitious project “Wagner for Children” is made possible by the kind and generous financial support of our sponsors and supporters.
