As in previous years the Pflaums
Posthotel Pegnitz housed the many prominent from the world
of business, politics and television. Fanfares announced the
host of the
Festspiele.
•
•The
arrival of the guests resembled a fashion show, with the men
dressed mostly in simple, dark suits and tie or bowtie. The
woman however, showed more creativity in their choice of
dress. From elegant to extravagant, from buttoned-up to
sexy. This year's favorite shades were silver, lilac, cream
or just simple black.
• •
Honored guests were President Horst
Koehler and wife Eva, Angela Merkel, candidate for
chancelor, and her husband, Joachim Sauer, Ex-foreign
minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, former president Walter
Scheel, former president Richard von Weizsaecker, Bavaria's
Secretary of the Interior, Guenter Beckstein and Governor of
Bavaria, Edmund Stoiber and wife Karin. Other prominent
guests included EU vice president Guenter Verheugen, Justice
Minister Brigitte Zypries, FDP-Chef Guido Westerwelle,
environmental secretary Werner Schnappauf with daughter
Marie-Terese, Thomas Gottschalk and his wife Thea, Countess
Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, Margot Werner, and many
more.

Wolfgang Wagner (b. 1919) is the son
of Siegfried Wagner, the grandson of Richard Wagner and the
great-grandson of Franz Liszt. He is currently the director
(Festspielleiter) of the Bayreuth Festspiele, a position he
assumed alongside his brother Wieland in 1951. Wolfgang and
Wieland Wagner are largely credited with resurrecting the
famous festival following Germany's collapse after the
Second World War. Under his directorship, the famous
Bayreuth Festspielhaus has undergone extensive
renovations.
•
•Known
for his more modern, minimalist stagings of his
grandfather's works, Wagner has attracted some criticism for
what is seen as his autocratic sway over the Festival.
Nonetheless, he has helped make the Bayreuth one of the most
popular destination in the world of opera. There is a
ten-year waiting list for
tickets.
•
•In
1994, he invited Werner Herzog (who had staged Lohengrin at
Bayreuth in 1987) to make a documentary about the Festival,
which was released under the title "Die Verwandlung der Welt
in Musik". (The Transformation of the World into Music)
