Country: Germany (Deutschland) State: Bayern City: Bayreuth Location: Festspielhügel 1 Built 1872-1876 by Otto Brückwald for Richard Wagner. Opened 13 Aug 1876 with Richard Wagner's "Rheingold". 1881-1882 extension by the "Königsbau", a staircase pavilion with a closed royal box. Renovated 1925-1925, 1931, 1933, 1958-1959 and 1962-1973. Originally 1645 seats, today 1925 seats. Throughout its history, the theatre has only be used for performances of Richard Wagner's operas during the Festspiele (with the exception of some performances of Beethoven's 9th symphony, and some entertainment performances after World War II). Its unique covered pit that hides the orchestra completely from the audience results in an especially well-balanced acoustic mixture of voices and orchestra in the auditorium. World premieres:
