The Festspielhaus (Festival Theater), is what many Wagner fans come to Bayreuth to see. It is a rather plain building inside and out. Wagner designed it himself and the emphasis was on the sound quality, not the aesthetics of the building or the comfort of the audience. The bare walls and uncovered, wooden seats enhance the acoustics.
The orchestra plays in a pit below the stage from where the music is guided by soundboards to bounce off the wall behind the singers, so it can mix with their voices before being blasted to the audience. The acoustics even take into account the density of the audience.
