Plans for a Munich theatre were halted by local opposition. In 1871 Wagner chose a site in Bayreuth after consulting experts. Bayreuth offered two plots, one for a theatre and one for Wagner’s house, and the landlord built Wahnfried as his family home in 1872. The theatre, costing about 800,000 thalers, was largely funded by Wagner societies and completed in 1876 with the Der Ring des Nibelungen premiere. It became a magnet for Wagner fans worldwide.
