On 22 May, Bayreuth Festspielhaus hosted a 200th birthday concert for Richard Wagner. Conducted by Christian Thielemann, the Festival orchestra were allowed out the pit for a rare onstage appearance.
Soloists Eva-Maria Westbroek, Johan Botha and Kwangchul Youn performed the first act of Die Walküre, which was followed by extracts from Rienzi, Götterdämmerung and Die Meistersinger. Afterwards, various Wagners and Wagnerphiles gathered for dinner and a brief recital from Klaus Florian Vogt.
