To be in the auditorium so rich in history is an unparalleled joy for any Wagner lover. The audience sits in a dreamy trance for hours sweltering and never uttering a sound or movement least it bring attention to you. Once when I coughed I was given a backward glance of disapproval. It really surprised me the large amount of formal attire but everyone was very nice in the theatre, attendees and staff. One day when I was there not attending a performance but walking the grounds observed they keep ushers posted at every entrance around the theatre whose job it is stand during each act making sure no one enters the theatre during a performance. They stand in the heat guarding the doors. It's really fascinating all the traditions of the theatre. Looking forward to returning this summer.

This theater is just AMAZING. I have never seen anything like it, it is incredibly beautiful and moving. The guide gave a great explanation about who built it, why etc etc. I have visited 241 Unesco World heritage Sites at the time of writing and I think this is the one which blew me away the most. (apart from the Houses from Horta - Art Nouveau in Belgium).. Simply outstanding and a must see for seasoned travelers.
