Bayreuth (APA / dpa) – After a political "Parsifal", the Bayreuth Festival Richard Wagner is even more political: the version of Barrie Kosky's "Meistersinger von Nürnberg" was celebrated by the public Saturday night. The director of the Berlin Komische Oper, who was the first Jewish director of Bayreuth, was also applauded.
The personality of Kosky is already a political issue, but also in terms of content, its staging since its creation. has changed slightly over the last year, highly political. It highlights the much-discussed anti-Semitism of Richard Wagner and argues against xenophobia and tolerance on stage.
Klaus Florian Vogt, heard in recent years as Lohengrin and Parsifal on the Green Hill, was like Walther of Stolzing celebrated. It was also the case of Johannes Martin Kränzle, central figure of the Jew Sixtus Beckmesser and Philippe Jordan on the podium for his rather sober direction.
Michael Volle was the happiest for Hans Vols. Presence and vocal power were by far surpbaded
. The covers will follow Monday with "The Flying Dutchman" and "The Valkyrie" on Tuesday. The Bayreuth Festival ends on August 29th.
