Chor der Bayreuther Festspiele

German Festival Choir

The Chor der Bayreuther Festspiele, also known as the Bayreuth Festival Chorus, is an integral part of the prestigious Bayreuth Festival, which is dedicated to the performance of the works of the German composer Richard Wagner. The festival was founded by Wagner himself in 1876 in the Bavarian town of Bayreuth, and it has since become a central event for Wagner enthusiasts and classical music aficionados from around the world. The chorus is composed of professional singers who are selected through a rigorous audition process and are known for their powerful and nuanced performances that capture the grandeur and complexity of Wagner's music.
