July - August 2021

Bayreuth Festival, Germany

​

When Director Jay Scheib was asked to create an activation to be a part of the Bayreuth Festival at its historic opera house, he partnered with the team at NightLight to help bring his concepts to life.

NightLight worked with Jay and his collaborator Josh Higgason to develop and execute a location-based VR experience. NightLight recreated a climactic dragon fight from Wagner's Ring Cycle, casting the user in the role of the hero. The Oculus Quest–based experience utilized hand tracking and a complete digital replica of the Bayreuth opera house to allow the guest to slay the dragon and stop the venue from being destroyed.
