HİKAYE WAGNER’İN ANSİKLOPEDİDE GÖRDÜĞÜ BİR BİNAYLA BAŞLIYOR

Bayreuth Festival Salonu olarak da bilinen ve eski adı Bayreuth'taki Wagner Tiyatrosu olan Richard-Wagner-Festspielhaus, Bayreuth'taki Green Hill'de bulunan bir festival tiyatrosu.

:u binanın hikayesi, Wagner’in 1870 yılında , bir ansiklopedik sözlükte, Bayreuth'taki Margravial Opera Binası'nı keşfetmesiyle başlıyor. Bu bina, o yıllarda bir Alman opera binaları içinde en büyük sahneye sahipti.

Wagner, 1871 yılının Nisan ayında Bayreuth'a gelerek tarihi tiyatroyu ziyaret etti. Seyirci kapasitesi çok küçük olduğundan, kafasındaki kendi eserlerini sahnelemeye uygun değildi. Binanın seyirci kapasitesini genişletmek de mümkün görünmüyordu.

Bu yüzden çok beğendiği bu bölgede yeni bir opera binası inşa etmek istedi. Burası için de en uygun yer şehrin Green Hill denilen bölgesiydi.

Yerel sponsorlar ve yöneticiler projeye destek verdi. Böylece Wagner, mülkü Bayreuth şehrinden ücretsiz olarak aldı. Mimari projeyi, Wagner’in tasarımına uygun olarak Otto Brückwald gerçekleştirdi.

İLK TAŞ KONUYOR ANCAK BAVYERA KRALI LUDWIG’İN PARASI BİTİNCE SIKINTI BAŞLIYOR

22 Mayıs 1872 günü sağanak yağmur altında temel taşı atıldı. Ancak Maddi sıkıntılar nedeniyle inşaat gecikti. Özellikle, Bavyera Kralı II. Ludwig'in verdiği para, bir yandan halkta tepkilere yo açarken, bir yandan da yeterli olmamaya başlayınca, Wagner Avrupalı aristokratlardan destek istedi. Tüm çabalarına rağmen umduğu yardımı alamadı.

Bunun için özel bir finansman modeli geliştirdi. Bir tür fonlama olan 1.000 patronaj sertifikasının her biri 300 taler karşılığında satışı planlanmıştı. Bu da çok yavaş ilerledi. Sertifikaların ancak yarısı satılabilmişti. Wagner, son çare olarak Osmanlı Sultanı Abdülhamid ile temasa geçti. Çok fazla umudu yoktu.

Ama en büyük umut en umutsuz olduğu İstanbul’dan geldi.

OSMANLI SULTANI HER BİRİ 300 TALERLİK 3 HİSSE ALINCA İŞ BÜYÜYOR

1972 yılında Sultan Abdülaziz, 900 taler değerinde üç adet hisse satın aldı. Bu para bugünün değeri ile 70.000 Euro civarındaydı. Abdülaziz'in o dönemdeki desteği iki bakımdan önemliydi. O dönemde Osmanlı Hazinesi iyi değildi ve böyle bir dönemde Osmanlı Sultanı sanata verdiği önemi gösteriyordu.

İkincisi ise, Avrupa kamuoyu o sıralarda Osmanlı Sultanlarının sanata verdiği önemi hiç bilmiyordu.

Üstelik Wagner'in operaları Müslüman kültürüyle pek uyuşan eserler değildi ve Sultan buna rağmen vermişti bu desteği.

Abdülaziz’in aldığı bu üç hisse birden maddi değerinden daha büyük bir psikolojik etki yarattı.

Franz Liszt, Avrupalı hükümdarları ve şehzadelere bir çağrı yaparak Osmanlı Sultanının bu davranışını örnek almalarını istedi.

WAGNER’LE ABDÜLAZİZ ARASINDAKİ 3 KOLTUK SÖZLEŞMESİNİN TAM METNİ

Bu yardım karşılığında Sultan Abdülaziz ile Wagner arasında bir sözleşme yapıldı.

2000’yi yılların ilk 10 yılında bu sözleşmenin tam metni ortaya çıktı. Sözleşme aynen şöyleydi: "İşbu belgeyle kabul edilen 900 taler tutarındaki ödeme yoluyla, bu biletin sahibi, Bayreuth'ta gerçekleştirilecek olan "Der Ring der Nibelungen" sahne festivalinin üç tam gösteriminin hami haklarını elde etmiş olup, bu haklar kendisine koşulsuz tasarruf hakkı vermektedir. Dört bölümlü çalışmanın üç kez gerçekleştirileceği on iki akşamın her biri için rahat bir koltuk ve her biri için 500 boş yer tahsis etme hakkına sahip olacak.

Bayreuth, 23 Eylül 1872” Böylece Osmanlı Sultanı Abdülaziz, o dönemin en büyük ve en güçlü bestecisi Richard Wagner’in inşa ettiği Festspielhous’da oynanacak operalarda 3 koltuk hakkı elde ediyordu.

229-230-231 numaralı koltuklar Sultanındı.

FESTİVALİN AÇILIŞINDA TAMAMEN DOLU SALONDA BİR TEK KOLTUK BOŞ KALDI

Sultan Abülaziz’in katkısıyla tamamlanan Festspielhouse 13 Ağutos 1876’da Wagner’in “Ring der Nibelungen” operasıyla açılışını yaptı.

O akşam, Avrupa hanedanlarının birçok üyesi ve üst düzey aristokratlar salondaydı. Bütün biletler çok önceden tükenmişti. O tarihi gecede salonda bir tek boş koltuk vardı. Osmanlı Sultanı Abdülaziz’e vadedilen koltuk. KOLTUK BOŞTU ÇÜNKÜ SULTAN ABDÜLAZİZ...

Your experience here will depend on when you come and for what reason. Of you are just interested in the history of this place it is definitely worth a visit. For many of the wrong reasons, the Festival played a role in radicalism that led to political turmoil. However it also played a huge roller in promoting the ideas and work of Wagner, which influences music today. Dry ice was created here, something less well known. If you are an opera fan, and a Wagnerian, then your visit will be more of a pilgrimage. I don't need to tell you what you'll find, her as you will already know. I will add that facilities are good, prices are not rip off and most hotels run buses that are very cheap if not free. The food is good enough to eat a decent enough meal during a performance. The Old rules for tickets have modified slightly.... You can still fill the form out every year, do it online, or try your luck with the regular Web sales (put a few hours aside for this). Ring tickets are sold as a cycle which range from a few hundred to around 1k. The only thing I would recommend is very to know the work very well before...

Just got back from seeing the entire Ring Cycle last week. If you are lucky enough to get tickets, go without hesitation. We were sat in the mittleloge (bottom row of boxes) and had an excellent view of the stage despite being the back row because the rake is excellent. The seats were cushioned & very comfy (nothing like the "hard wooden" description I was expecting! The stalls seats are less padded though from appearance, but you can borrow cushions from the theatre if necessary). Yes the direction/set was a bit whacky (so if you're a purist this may not be your cup of tea), but the sound is like nothing else you'll ever experience - world class singers, world class orchestra, perfect balance (due to the orchestra being under the stage), could hear every word (not that I understood it but no matter if you know the story the acting and music will be enough). Tasty bratwurst for the intervals, no dress code (although a lot of people dress up, I'd say don't go in your jeans!)....

I have waited more than 10 years for tickets to the Wagner Festspiel, and it was well worth the wait. I was concerned that the opera house does not have AC and the seats are uncomfortable, but it really was quite bearable. The dress is formal, and the audience remained still as a mouse for the entire two and a half hours of the performance of Das Rheingod that I saw. There are no surtitles so you need to do your homework. The singing is world-class and the orchestra perfect in all regards. The sound from the Wagner orchestra pit lives up to all the hype. The orchestra, including the brass, can play at full volume, but they never cover the singers, and every word can be understood. Amazing! A word about the Bayreuth productions, they have been described as avant guard. They certainly may not be to everyone's taste, but it is, after all, part of the Festspiel "experience." If you are fortunate to get tickets to this unique venue, give it a try. There is nothing else like it in the world.
