Bayreuth

基本解释

GETTING a seat at the annual Bayreuth Festival of Richard Wagner’s operas is about as easy as shaking off a dwarf’s curse: the average waiting time is nine years.
想在一年一度的拜罗伊特瓦格纳音乐节中得到门票可不是件容易事,等待的时间和消除矮人身上的诅咒所需日子一样长:九年。
And indeed Wolfgang directed little of merit himself, though he invited distinguished conductors and directors to Bayreuth—none of whom was allowed to establish a foothold there.
他邀请了许多杰出的指挥家和导演，但是并不允许他们镇正在拜罗伊特扎根。
It was Wieland who took over the directorship and, by dispensing with much of the traditional symbolism of Wagnerian production, not only restored Bayreuth's reputation but enhanced it.
最后，维尔兰继承了导演事业，摒弃了传统的理念，将瓦格纳作品焕然一新，巩固加强了音乐节不可撼动的地位。

Naturally Wolfgang rejects all talk of a Bayreuth crisis and in one sense he is right.
