Renovations on the Bayreuther Festspielhaus have been underway with no end in sight.

Construction was stalled as the Festspiele negotiated a long-term lease on the theater and the right to tenancy.

The lease clears the way for a release of funds from the German Federal Government and the state of Bavaria to the tune of 30 million Euro.

Work will begin again, however, it will be paused during the Festival.
