Bayreuth says it’s ‘extremely difficult’ to find German sponsors

Bayreuth says it’s ‘extremely difficult’ to find German sponsors

Katharina Wagner has said she’s ‘disappointed’ at having to cut four operas from the anniversary season of 2026. ‘But what can you do? You can’t ignore reality.’ She blames national wage rises for the shortfall.

Her chairman Georg von Waldenfels is more blunt: Increased efforts to find new sponsors from the business world are very important for Bayreuth, said Waldenfels. “Contacts are being maintained.” Nevertheless, due to the current economic crisis in Germany, it is “extremely difficult” to attract companies.
