The importance of substantial donations for the fulfillment of our goals as a fundraising organization for the Bayreuth Festival cannot be overestimated. Since considerable challenges await us during the coming years, we will be more dependent on generous donations from our members than ever. We would like to acknowledge those members who have made large or even very large donations by also including them in these pages. Based on Richard Wagner’s ideas from 1871 we confer the following titles upon contributors: “Donors”, “Benefactors”, and “Patrons” of the Stage Festival in Bayreuth.
