Bayreuth pals offer a million bucks to bring Thielemann back

Bayreuth pals offer a million bucks to bring Thielemann back

They have specifically demanded the restoration of Tobias Kratzer’s Tannhäuser production and of Lohengrin, conducted by Christian Thielemann.

No pressure, then.

Katie has yet to comment.
