Remember last week when Bayreuther Festspiele opened with Hans Neuenfels' Lohengrin and everyone was appalled over a few guys in rat costumes? Bayreuther Festspiele's Götterdämmerung opens today, led by Christian Thielemann in Tankred Dorst's production (photos above and below). Tomorrow it's Katharina Wagner's turn for her own production of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg with Sebastian Weigle conducting. But you'll have to click the link below to see the photos.
