4. Bayreuth Opera Festival - Richard Wagner - Hitler - The Allied - festival since 1876
Wagner's Festival ideal was closely bound up with the genesis of his principal work,
Der Ring des Nibelungen, each element in the equation fructifying the other. It was
on 14 September 1850 that Wagner first sketched out the idea of a festival. It was
under the Third Reich that the festival made its ?rst break from tradition, abandoning
the deteriorating 19th century sets created by Richard Wagner. Many protested the
changes. Hitler approved of the changes, During the war, the festival was turned over
to the Nazi party, which continued to sponsor operas for wounded soldiers. The
soldiers were forced to attend lectures on Wagner before the performances. Two-
thirds of the town of Bayreuth was destroyed by Allied bombing, though the theatre
itself was undamaged. During American occupation of the region after World War II,
the theatre was used for army recreation and religious services for American
soldiers. Only popular concerts and mixed entertainment were allowed: comedy,
dancing, acrobatics, and then only Die Fledermaus was staged. In 1946 the Festival
House was handed over to the city of Bayreuth,. Talks about reopening of the
Wagnerian Festival started. Finally it reopened with the performance of Beethoven's
9th Symphony on July 29, 1951, followed by the first post-war premiere of Wagner's
opera,

used as a design element on equal basis with visual design, bacause the methology is both proven and practical.
