Social, optical, culinary, but mainly musical delights were enjoyed by a group of 44 participants during the weekend of the 15th/16th September 2006 supported by the pictorial backdrop the quaint city of Bayreuth provided.

As a transfer from the 21th into the 18th century a Soirée de Danse in the "Princess Mansion" served, followed by a rural promenade through the Eremitage. The indisputable climax however was the visit of the Margraval Opera House, where the group had the honour of viewing the opera "Giove in Argo" by G.F. Händel.
