Bayreuth Festival 2006
[Note: This post has been updated (1) as of 2:07 PM Eastern on 19 Jul. See below.]
We've added to the top of our right-hand sidebar the schedule for the opening performances of the 2006 Bayreuth Festival. As is the custom, these opening performances will all be webcast live, and as that fine website Operacast makes available the sources for those webcasts, each entry in the list will be linked accordingly.
This year's Festival looks to be a genuinely exciting one as it will for the first time mount a new staging of the Ring by director Tankred Dorst (we're keeping fingers crossed here that it will not be yet another Eurotrash outrage), and perhaps even more exciting, the cycle is to be conducted by that most gifted of present-day Wagner conductors, Christian Thielemann.
Stay tuned.
Update (2:07 PM Eastern on 19 Jul): The links to the listings of live webcasts have now been added to our Bayreuth 2006 listing on the right-hand sidebar.
