It's risky to go to Bayreuth: the tickets are extremely scarce and demand is enormous. This is why I always recommend to go to Salzburg after Bayreuth. You go for a couple of days in Bayreuth, see the site and all the wonderful things in and about Wahnfried house, and if you can score the ticket all the better! Tickets for Salzburg are easy to get IF you send your request early enough (January, February)<br /><br />What makes you think this production of Lohengrin is atrocious? All reasonable people who saw the show say it was very good.Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-11492534598915936882010-08-18T17:15:51.933+02:002010-08-18T17:15:51.933+02:00Thanks Operacake, I loved your instructive report ...Thanks Operacake, I loved your instructive report and all the photos. Since despite my great love of Wagner operas I have absolutely no intention whatsoever to EVER to fly to Europe and attempt to buy one of those ridiculously overpriced tickets so I can watch atrocious productions like this Lohengrin, now I know what it all looks and sounds like; and am delighted to know how little I am missing (not to mention the hour outside in the rain). I would go anywhere to hear Jonas live (and have) but Bayreuth will not be one them. <br />Best wishes, keep up the good work for those of us who stay behind.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-50038361459847356202010-08-18T14:00:28.334+02:002010-08-18T14:00:28.334+02:00BTW.

Linda Esther Gray was in the cast.<br /><br />I am hoping that Minkowski may offer Das Liebesverbot in Paris as Die Feen was a musical revelation, though too many pink feathers.Vecchio Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667687814424223347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-59073265991427920752010-08-18T13:56:34.702+02:002010-08-18T13:56:34.702+02:00Does the Apoteke offer Balsam aus Arabien?
