17Bayreuth became the centre of the Wagner cult from 1872 when Richard Wagner took up his residence there and began his plans for the "Festspielhaus," the corner stone of which was laid May 22, 1872, with elaborate ceremonies, including a performance of Beethoven's Choral Symphony. Wagner societies in all parts of the world raised the money for the new theatre, which was designed by Gottfried Semper with suggestions from Wagner, and opened in Aug., 1876, with performances of two cycles of the "Ring des Nibelungen," causing a loss of nearly $40,000. "Parsifal" was performed there first in July and Aug., 1882, and was restricted to that theatre until Dec. 24, 1903, when it was produced at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, under management of Heinrich Conried, Alfred Hertz conducting. An excellent English production by Henry W. Savage followed. Bayreuth has continued to be the home of Frau Cosima Wagner, and of Siegfried Wagner, who bitterly opposed the American productions of the "Bunenwehfestspiel" or stage festival dedicatory play, as Wagner termed "Parsifal." However, the music had been made known in concert form before the New York episode. Since the beginning Bayreuth has been the principal training school of Wagnerian singers and conductors.
