a pilgrimage church rather than the parish church so the focus is on the tomb of the saints. so of us what you see here is the only marble piece in the church on the lid are the recumbent figures of the 2 saints. on its side are legends surrounding the imperial couple of oxen's and. the cathedral is especially famous for this figure. so when sit down here from here you have a lovely view of the back horseman what was so unusual about it well 1st it was the 1st life size statue since antiquity if the writer were standing up he'd be about my size one meter 65 and about the average height for his time as i'm outside has on. whom he represents remains a mystery. bombeck was billed as a center of ecclesiastical power built like rome on 7 hills the city is therefore

by 0.5 now was able to read. his long cherished plans for his own festival hall at 1st he was interested in the murky opera house. it's one of the most beautiful garage theatres in the world and is a unesco world heritage site. and. it's recently been renovated and a speck to its former glory. but wagner want that more so he had his own opera house built every here from the end of july to the end of august wagner offense from all over the world come to the famous by a white festival. loudness

fest in the house pool festival theater in by white. every year celebrities and v.i.p.'s graced its red carpet. it's as much a part of the festival as richard wagner's music. does is probably mainly because of this there's his acoustic sound because it's a unique authentic venue. this theater was built by and for richard wagner well over 100 years ago now and it's still standing in the same place and basically functions just as it did in the 19th centuries a view. that must be a major part of its fascination for us notes on. the pyrite festival is a media event the british air apparent prince charles queen sylvia of sweden and german chancellor angela merkel have all been hand. celebrities and journalists

bagnall would have loved it. the festival keeps up with the times. from 2008 to 20111 production a year was publicly screened on festival square. since 2009 there have been children's versions of the wagner's operas. and since 20121 production a year has been streamed live to cinemas. not the many 1000 i love us there's nothing better than being right there in by right. this is something whole package is fabulous the atmosphere and of course the theater itself really comes in what if i can't put it into words it's just a feeling. that's what's wonderful about music and art that they grip you
