The tie of Bayreuth Festspielhaus Opera House to the Nazis is a complicated part of its history that is still being worked through.  Richard Wagner himself died well before the rise of the Third Reich, but his music and Bayreuth itself was appropriated by the Nazis as symbols of cultural nationalism.
