The Bayreuth Festival is trying something new and outreachy this season: an extra non-subscription performance of Das Rheingold on August 10, offered exclusively through online sales. The first come, first served tickets go on sale October 10 at 18.00 CET (which La Cieca thinks means noon here in NYC) and up to four places may be purchased. No ten-year waiting lists; you just have to be ready to click and have your credit card handy.
