Bayreuth Festival – The Richard Wagner Festspiele

The Bayreuth Festival traditionally takes place from July 24th to August 26th, 2025 in the Bavarian city of Bayreuth in Germany.

The Richard Wagner Festspiele in Bayreuth

The Richard Wagner Festival is a music festival that presents the operas of the composer Richard Wagner .
Wagner himself had the idea of a special festival to present his own works in a special setting. He was particularly interested in the complete performance of his monumental cycle “The Ring of the Nibelung” and “Parsifal”.
Richard Wagner got his inspiration for the opera Parsifal from Ravello on the beautiful Amalfi Coast, where the Ravello Festival is performed in his honor at the Villa Rufolo.

Every year thousands of Wagner fans come to Bayreuth to see the composer’s performances.

Another opportunity to see Richard Wagner’s complete Ring of the Nibelung cycle is the March 2026 performance at La Scala in Milan. Find our offers here.
