点评:An interesting opera house, no doubt, and learning about its history and the time and effort that goes into the productions was fascinating. Being able to see the orchestra pit was great. That being said, I am not a Wagner fan and cannot see myself enjoying hours in this building, on those seats. I will also always have issues with how Wagner was pampered left, front and centre, getting away with much in his life that would have been unthinkable for others. The (German) guided tour was well done, and as I understand it, is not run by the Festspielhaus itself, but by the City of Bayreuth. One tourist wanted to join and had no ticket, assuming he’d be able to buy one right there. He had no cash, and credit card wouldn’t work, as ‘we’re not even given a power outlet to plug anything in’ the tour guide told him. This is so typical for Germany, and so ridiculous. Digital dark ages, when everywhere else in the world you have the option to pay with a credit card in the most remote areas, if that’s your choice over cash. Not at the fancy Festspielhaus, where tickets cost a fortune and VIP’s jostle every year to be seen.
翻译:毫无疑问,这是一座有趣的歌剧院,了解它的历史以及制作过程中投入的时间和精力令人着迷。能够看到乐池真是太棒了。话虽如此,我并非瓦格纳的粉丝,也无法想象自己会喜欢在这座建筑里,坐在那些座位上消磨几个小时。瓦格纳一直以来都备受宠爱,他一生中许多事情都得以逃脱惩罚,而这些在其他人看来是不可想象的,这一点我始终无法释怀。(德语)导览讲解得很好,据我了解,它并非由拜罗伊特节日剧院本身组织,而是由拜罗伊特市政府负责。一位游客想参加导览,但他没有票,以为可以在那里买到。他身上没有现金,信用卡也用不了,因为“我们连个电源插座都没有”,导游告诉他。这真是典型的德国现象,也太荒谬了。这简直是数字时代的黑暗时期,而世界上其他地方,即使在最偏远的地方,你也可以选择用信用卡支付,如果你愿意的话。在富丽堂皇的节日剧院(Festspielhaus),情况则截然不同,那里的门票价格昂贵,每年贵宾们都争相一睹风采。
