    Nietzsche was in Bayreuth during the first complete festival presentation of Wagner's Ring cycle. His disappointment there accelerated his estrangement from Wagner and Wagnerian culture. The quote establishes Nietzsche in Bayreuth on July 25 and 28; the earlier date is used for this card. City coordinates are used because the letters do not specify a venue.
