SUMMARY:Bayreuth Artist Talk: Marcus Lobbes
DESCRIPTION:Join us in 2026 for the Bayreuth Artists Talks Series\, an engaging opportunity to connect with the exceptional performers of the Bayreuth Festival. This talk with Marcus Lobbes\, Curator and director of the Artistic and Technical Concept of ‘Ring 10010110’ – the 150th Anniversary Ring. These intimate sessions offer audiences a rare glimpse behind the scenes as artists reflect on their careers\, share insights into their roles and creative processes\, and discuss the unique experience of performing at Bayreuth. With a relaxed and informal setting\, these conversations provide a deeper understanding of the works the artists bring to life on stage\, making each event a memorable encounter with the people behind the music. \nAs Director of the Dortmund Academy\, Marcus Lobbes is in high demand locally\, nationally\, and internationally for lectures and panel discussions; he is particularly committed to fostering and promoting a wide variety of networks in the performing arts\, as well as communicating artistic research — in dialogue with the latest technologies — to theater and educational institutions\, policymakers\, and the general public. \nHe is also active on numerous committees\, boards of trustees\, and juries; for example\, since 2024 he has served as vice president of the German Academy of Performing Arts and as a member of the board of trustees of the Performing Arts Fund. \nSince 1995\, he has worked as a director\, set designer\, and writer in musical and spoken theater. His focus is on uncompromisingly contemporary adaptations of classics as well as numerous world premieres and first performances at many renowned theaters across Germany in over 80 productions to date\, including at the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus\, the Frankfurt Opera\, the Hamburg Opera\, the National Theater Mannheim\, the State Theaters in Kassel\, Mainz\, Saarbrücken\, Darmstadt\, and Braunschweig\, the Schauspiel Dortmund\, the Theater Freiburg\, and the Wuppertaler Bühnen. \nHis artistic signature is characterized by innovative forms of collective work with ensembles and his close collaboration with contemporary writers and composers. In addition to numerous invitations and awards\, his approach is also finding its way into the training of young artists: \nSince 2014\, he has been invited as a guest lecturer and speaker to the Academy of Performing Arts in Ludwigsburg\, the Mozarteum in Salzburg\, the University of Rostock\, the University of Applied Sciences Mainz\, the Zurich University of the Arts\, the Berlin University of the Arts (UDK)\, the Robert Schumann University of Music in Düsseldorf\, and\, since 2016\, annually to the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. \nThis in-person-only event will take place at the Arvena Kongress Hotel in Bayreuth\, Germany. \nTickets will be available for purchase here shortly.

SUMMARY:Rienzi in HD
DESCRIPTION:Rienzi\, Wagner’s third opera\, was once his greatest success. The story of the Roman tribune combines rise and fall\, private tragedy and public vision. The original score is considered lost. This rarely performed work serves as a link between Grand Opéra and music drama\, with orchestral power and emotional depth. The performance in Bayreuth is a unique opportunity to rediscover Wagner’s early triumph – where it has never been heard before. \nFor the third consecutive year\, WSNY continues bringing Bayreuth premieres to our members as an HD cinema experience. \nTickets will be available to Members Only in August 2026. \nThe screening will take place over two nights (Monday 15 September and Tuesday 16 September) and shown in two parts.
