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.’
