Those who know me, know that I am an avid enthusiast of Richard Wagner’s theatre works. \u00a0This year alone I have attended a Ring Cycle<\/em> in Washington, a performance of Das Rheingold<\/em> in Chicago, a new productions of Tristan und Isolde<\/em> at the Metropolitan Opera, another Tristan<\/em> at the English National Opera in London, and a performance of Die Meistersinger<\/em> at the Glyndebourne Festival in England.<\/p>\n

I was lurking around the web site of the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth tonight, nursing my disappointment that I apparently have yet again been unsuccessful in my ticket application (last time I attended was 2012, c’mon, guys, my turn…) when I noticed the legend “ODR” on the top banner of the tickets web page. \u00a0And behold, the following is posted:<\/p>\n

The Bayreuther Festspiele GmbH draws attention to the link to the online platform of the European Commission for Online Dispute Resolution (so-called Odr platform) for out of court settlement http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/consumers\/odr\/<\/a>, which is set on the homepage of the Bayreuther Festspiele GmbH; furthermore, attention is drawn to the fact that the Platform for Online Dispute Resolution \u2013 according to its own statement \u2013 will not be operational until 15\/02\/2016.<\/p>\n

The e-mail of the Bayreuther Festspiele GmbH is as follows: ticket@bayreuther-festspiele.de<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now how cool is that? \u00a0Here I am wasting time whinging because I won’t have the opportunity to spend money I don’t have seeing operas I already know, and I am unexpectedly treated to Colin-Rule<\/a>-In-A-Can!<\/p>\n

Does life get any more coherent than this, I ask you?<\/p>\n
