About

Wieland Wagner (5 January 1917 – 17 October 1966) was a German opera director, and a grandson of Richard Wagner. As co-director of the Bayreuth Festival when it re-opened after World War II, he was noted for innovative new stagings of the musical stage works, departing from the naturalistic scenery and lighting of the 19th-century models.
