For the first time this decade, the Bayreuth Festival has sold 100 percent of its tickets.
Festival spokesman Hubertus Herrmann told the German Press Agency that there had been a few seats left for Parsifal up to last week but these, too, have now gone.
The post-Covid 2023 struggled with large gaps seen at the so-called ‘Netflix Ring’. The final Ring uptake was 92 percent, Herrmann said.
The post Bayreuth sells out appeared first on Slippedisc.
