# Liste der Dirigenten der Bayreuther Festspiele

Die Liste der Dirigenten der Bayreuther Festspiele umfasst alle musikalischen Leiter der Bayreuther Festspiele, geordnet nach dem Alphabet, seit Beginn der Festspiele im Jahr 1876. In Bayreuth werden traditionell nur sieben der Opernwerke von Richard Wagner (1813–1983) aufgeführt. Der Ring des Nibelungen besteht dabei aus jeweils vier Abenden (Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, Götterdämmerung). Zusätzlich stand in sechs Jahrgängen (1933, 1951 bis 1953, 1963, 2001) die 9. Sinfonie von Ludwig van Beethoven im Programm.
Nur zwei Dirigenten, Felix Mottl und Christian Thielemann, waren bei allen unterschiedlichen Opern mindestens einmal eingesetzt. Sechs Dirigenten führten fünf der Opernwerke auf: Karl Böhm, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Berislav Klobučar, Horst Stein, sowie Richard Wagners Sohn Siegfried Wagner (1869–1930).
