BAYREUTH: A HISTORY OF THE WAGNER FESTIVAL

by Frederic Spotts

Published by Yale University Press. 1994

Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. This book is the first to provide a frank and comprehensive account of the institutions's history and functioning. The core of the study is a critical analysis of the performances and productions, brought alive with illustrations of stage settings, conductors and singers in costume. Around this artistic history is woven the remarkable story of why Wagner established the Festival and how his controversial descendants have managed it after him. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and illustrations. x and 334 pages including index.

Reprint. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed.
