Rienzi – Only in 2026 in Bayreuth
A Work like a Wildfire
Wagner’s first successful opera returns – and with a bang. “Rienzi” is not a juvenile experiment, but a musical powerhouse of revolt, love, and megalomania. For the Bayreuth Festival 2026, the work was carefully reconstructed, dramaturgically sharpened – and ignites a fire that can be heard.
RING 10010110 – from Myth to Code
The Ring Thinks Along
For the 150th anniversary of Bayreuth Festival, Wagner’s “Ring” is being reprogrammed – literally. Artificial intelligence creates a constantly changing visual memory live on stage, drawing from 150 years of reception history. A music theater experiment between memory, vision – and pixel-perfect provocation.
