The Bayreuth Festival opens today with a new production of Meistersinger www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/programm/spi...

It seems only to be produced in 2026(?), or have I misunderstood?

The 2026 Bayreuth Festival will feature revivals of Tcherniakov’s Der fliegende Holländer and Scheib’s Parsifal. These are likely to be overshadowed by the Festival’s first-ever production of Rienzi and a new staging of The Ring - created with the help of AI www.wagneropera.net/bayreuth/bay...

Listening to Mahler 9 with Herman Scherchen - a really bizarre recording - as I am looking through photos of my garden.

A very bad orchestra & singers butcher Wagner. On the wall, a picture of the composer with his fingers in his ears.

I adore this James Ensor drawing from 1902: "In the Conservatory". Richard Wagner stops his ears as the "Ride of the Valkyries" is butchered.

“What I find most surprising in Siegfried’s Wagner recordings is the casual and natural style of singing and orchestral playing – no bombast, no overwhelming grandness.” (Kevin Clarke to Sam Goodyear) www.wagneropera.net/interviews/k...

Lise Davidsen has announced that she is pregnant with a Zwillingspaar. Congratulations!

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

‘The statements change every day’: Capitol rioters try to parse Trump’s pardon pledges | CNN Politics More than 140 police officers were assaulted by the mob, and the damage to the Capitol –from windows rioters smashed to enter the building to property rioters stole – was in the millions.

The people being pardoned by Trump represent these factions’ street-fighting forces. And with these pardons, they’re being green-lighted to bring their politics of menace and hate back to our political landscape. They’re eager to get to work. 25/26
