Culture minister to Bayreuth: Play something that’s not Wagner

Culture minister to Bayreuth: Play something that’s not Wagner

Germany’s federal minister for culture Claudia Roth has fired a shot across the Green Hill of Bayreuth, urging the Wagner regime to put on operas that are not by Wagner.

She suggests Hansel and Gretel for starters – an opera conceived by Wagner acolyte Engelbert Humperdinck.

But who knows where that might lead?

Roth said: ‘Bayreuth should become more diverse, more colourful and more youthful overall.’
