In this prize-winning and generously-illustrated book--the first to provide a frank and fully rounded history of Bayreuth-Frederic Spotts describes the festival's performances and productions, the Wagner family who have run it, its debasement in 'Hitler's court theater, ' and its postwar liberation from its chauvinistic, anti-Semitic past. Provocative and compelling, the book will fascinate all Wagner enthusiasts as well as those interested in European cultural and intellectual history since 1876.
