will be very uuassu1ning structure The walls cover
ing the audience will be up Of lattice work; that
covering the stage will be built Of stronger mntera1,
but without ornamentauon. To compensate for the
plain exterior, however, Wagner intends to spare
expense in scenic decorations for the stage and in the
interior arrangements for the comfort Of the spectators
helengh Of the theatre will be nearly feet and the
Width including the side wings, nearly the same dmen
sons. The auditory will contain 1,500 spectators aud
the space allotted to It Is terracelke shelving down
to the stage. The front will be very plain the enhance

watertowere, or reservoirs, prominent feature
on the part devoted to the STAGE The etage will have
breadth OF IS feet and height Of 10 feet the space
beneath the stage depth Of 81 feet The orchestra
will occupy its accustomed place between the stage and
the audience but will be inyiRib1e being 13 feet lower
than the podiun Of the stage. The opening OF the
stage filed by the curtain is IS feet broad and ~
feet high The interior arrangements Of dressing
roos bureaus and rooms for princely guests VII be
very complete. Lszt paid Wagner visit few days
ago at Bayreuh when the two overlooked the 1abors
