It will be hot at the start of the festival in Bayreuth – up to 35 degrees in the afternoon. The new production “Tristan und Isolde” should demand a lot from the participants and viewers at these temperatures.
Sun and up to 35 degrees outside – several hours “Tristan and Isolde” inside: The Richard Wagner Festival begins today in Bayreuth. Before that, prominent guests will walk the red carpet to the Festspielhaus – Angela Merkel will remain a loyal visitor to Bayreuth even after her chancellorship, and presenter Thomas Gottschalk is also expected.
