I'm in shock. This dry-looking letter confirms I can claim tickets for the
2013 Bayreuth Festival, for performances of
Lonhengrin,
Tannhäuser,
Holländer &
The Ring. The performance of
Siegfried is on my birthday. I've entered the ticket lottery every year since the last time I went in 2003, but I never expected to hit the jackpot in 2013, the Wagner Bicentennial, of all years. It's impossible. I can't believe it.
Besides the confirmation letter, the envelope contained a seating chart & a postcard to send in to reserve accommodations. The next step is to pay for the tickets by bank transfer, but I'm not yet able to think straight.
