Wagner's Home in Bavaria Built for Great Composer
The article traces Richard Wagner's move to Bayreuth and the creation of his theater and home. After royal backing and Semper's plans faced Munich opposition, Wagner chose Bayreuth in 1871. The city provided land for both theater and residence, Waldfried, with the cornerstone laid May 22, 1872. The theater cost about 800,000 thalers, largely funded by Wagner societies, completed 1876 and dedicated August 13 with Der Ring des Nibelungen. It remains a global magnet for Wagner enthusiasts.
