Bayreuth Festival

Bayreuth Festival Tickets

The annual Bayreuth Festival in Bayreuth, Germany is devoted principally (but not exclusively) to performances of operas by the 19th century German composer Richard Wagner. Wagner himself conceived of and promoted the idea of a special festival to showcase his own works, in particular his monumental cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen and Parsifal.

Performances at the Bayreuth Festival take place in a specially designed theatre, the Festspielhaus. Wagner personally supervised the design and construction of the theatre, which contained many architectural innovations to accommodate the huge orchestras for which Wagner wrote as well as the composers particular vision about the staging of his work.

The Bayreuth Festival has become a pilgrimage destination for Wagner enthusiasts, who often must wait years to obtain tickets.

	07/02/11 - RETURN TO SHEER GRACE AND POISE IN SWAN LAKE With Darren Aronofsky's film Black Swan annoying dance fans with its so-so dance scenes, it's a relief to see a real Swan Lake in all its theatrical and choreographic unity. Having Zenaida Yanowsky in the ballet is also a considerable plus. The senior Royal Ballet dancer has been less seen in recent years, having been away having children, but her performance in the twin Swan Lake lead roles of Odette-Odile proved her absence hasn't stalled her artistry. If anything, her time out has brought a greater range and depth to her dancing and acting. Her Odile, the dark-hearted black swan who deceives the Prince, was especially assured. It's easy to turn the character, and the dancing, into a come-hither vamp who dupes the prince with her blatant sexual availability. The prince, like most men, may be vulnerable to this tactic but he is no fool - and very much in love with the white swan, Odette. Yanowsky's approach is to reel him in with a combination of curve and poise, her back and neck in arching hints of sexual pleasure while her composure combined with a contrived restraint leaves the confused prince especially vulnerable. Running until April 8th at Royal Opera House. See tickets. Source: www.thisislondon.co.uk
