Deutsche Grammophon has announced that it will continue as the global media partner with the Bayreuth Festival.

In 2022, the label launched its ground-breaking classical music platform, STAGE+, which hosted the international premiere screenings of Valentin Schwarz’s thought-provoking new production of “Der Ring des Nibelungen.”

The collaboration will open with Jay Scheib’s highly anticipated “Parsifal” from the Festspielhaus on STAGE+ one day after its live premiere. Virtual festivalgoers will be able to watch the opera on STAGE+ on July 26, 2023 and July 27 in the U.S.

The production will star Elīna Garanča as Kundry and tenor Andreas Schager in the title role. Pablo Heras-Casado conducts the production.

This is the latest collaboration between Bayreuth and DG. They have previously collaborated on Tobias Kratzer’s “Tannhäuser (2019)” and Dmitri Tcherniakov’s “Der fliegende Holländer (2021).”
