An evening where Bayreuth's festival history shines through a female lens

With the performance "I Am My Husband Here", the studiobühne bayreuth at the Richard Wagner Museum sets a pointed accent in the anniversary program "50/150 – Utopia and Echo". The production brings to the forefront the women who have shaped, supported, and often been kept in the shadows of festival history. The performance on July 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM combines theatrical atmosphere, historical reflection, and performative intensity into a compelling stage experience.

Women, Power, and Memory on Stage

The production by Dorothea Kirschbaum questions the strong women next to, behind, and after the famous names of the Wagner dynasty. Cosima, Winifred, and other influential figures do not appear as footnotes but as carriers of organization, support, and aesthetic authority. The dramaturgy relies on rapid role changes and short, precise scenes, which allow history to be experienced as a living presence rather than a museum piece.

Between Exhibition Hall and Scenic Condensation

The venue itself adds extra tension to the performance: The special exhibition space in the new building of the Richard Wagner Museum creates an environment where stage, exhibition space, and cultural memory overlap. The audience does not experience a distant lecture format but an immediate play with presence, language, and perspectives. Especially in the context of the double anniversary, the performance unfolds its power as both a cultural framework and a sensual stage experience.

Reinterpreting Bayreuth's Festival Myth

The anniversary program understands itself as an echo of Richard Wagner's aesthetic utopia and consciously sets a critical counterpoint with the performance. Instead of mere glorification, the focus is on responsibility, power structures, and the women who supported the system. This perspective gives depth and relevance to the theater evening, as it not only tells but also questions.

Anticipation for an intelligent, moving theater evening

Those present in Bayreuth on July 27 can expect a performance that is as compact as it is intellectually rich: culturally historically grounded, actor-centered, and atmospherically close to the venue. The Richard Wagner Museum will momentarily become the stage for a multifaceted memory. A visit is recommended for anyone who appreciates theatrical art with historical resonance and wants to see Bayreuth's festival history anew.
