WAGNER CONCERTS All Over Germany There Are Cele- ro- brations—He Opened His Theater Fifty Years Ago Today. Bayreuth, Bavaria, Aug. 13 (Pr— Fifty years ago today Richard Wag- ner opened the doors of his theater here to the public and inaugurated | an epoch of the history of music In commemoration of that event a series of Wagnerian recitals are be- ing performed throughout all Ger- many this week and the newspapers carry long appreciations of the com- poser by musical critics and histor- jans. It s recalled that the Bayreuth premiere was honored by the pres- ence of Emperor William I, who when almost an octogenarian, jour- neyed to Bavaria to testify his in- torest in Wagner's work. The performance of Rhinegold, with which the first festical opened, evoked remarkable demonstrations of devotion to Wagner, but likewise provoked a great controversy over his nveol ideas, both as to music and theater construction.
