Bayreuth: History of the Wagner Festival Book

The operatic festival Richard Wagner founded in 1876 is the oldest and most famous in the world. It is also the most controversial, for it became the cultural showcase of the Third Reich. In this lively and generously illustrated book-the first to provide a frank and fully rounded history of Bayreuth- Frederic Spotts describes the festival`s performances and productions, the Wagner family who have run it, its debasement into "Hitler`s court theatre," and its postwar liberation from its chauvinist, anti-Semitic past. Provocative and compelling, the book will fascinate all Wagner enthusiasts as well as those interested in European cultural and intellectual history since 1876.Read More
