Bayreuth shrinks its chorus, again

The festival is making stringent economies.

Before it began, Katharina Wagner said that, after cuts, the chorus would be maintained at 134 singers.

Today, the festival website listed 118.

Tobias Könemann of the Union of German Opera and Dance Ensembles, claims that only 113 singers will be used.

The test will be Tannhäuser, tomorrow.
