Franz Liszt Symphony Orchestra Sopron

Already in the late 19th century, the castle church was to receive distinguished guests at the former Weineck organ. It was by chance that just as Franz Liszt, the most significant composer ever to die within the walls of Bayreuth, had passed away, another outstanding musician had come to Bayreuth: ANTON BRUCKNER. Asked by Cosima Wagner to play the organ for her father's requiem mass on August 4, 1886, Bruckner, deeply moved, appeared on the gallery of the castle church and bid farewell to the deceased with sounds from "Parsifal." A bronze plaque on the castle church now commemorates this historical event.

The castle church music celebrates the 200th birthday of Anton Bruckner this year together with the Hungarian Franz Liszt Orchestra from Sopron.

Admission: 6:00 PM
