Bayreuth – From Myth to Modernity

Bayreuth – From Myth to Modernity’ describes the collapse of a world order: the twilight of the gods depicted in ‘Götterdämmerung’ is a powerful symbol in the canon of the Bayreuth Festival. Wagnerians of today, however, look confidently toward the future and see in Bayreuth less a twilight than a dawn – the dawn of a new leadership, a new artistic direction, a new era with Wolfgang Wagner’s daughters Eva Wagner-Pasquier and Katharina Wagner.
