Et pendant ce temps-là à Bayreuth...

The end of the Festivals in Aix and in Munich is the sign that the Bayreuther Festspiele is just around the corner. It will open on July 25 (Sunday) with a new production of Lohengrin, which we can listen to via Radio BR-Klassik. The broadcast will begin at 4 pm (cet) on this link.

Stefan Herheim, Parsifal - rehearsal July 20, 2010

In Bayreuth the rehearsals are all over the place and everything is getting ready for the big Sunday opening. In particular the smashing production of Parsifal by Stefan Herheim will see its second revival (one of the best shows I've ever seen!) and a short video shot during a rehearsal can be found on this link.
