Bayreuth Unusual sounds for the starry tenor: Plácido Domingo was crowned conductor at the Bayreuth Festival by part of the public.
After the "Valkyrie", the 77-year-old Spaniard was applauded Tuesday night, but statements of indignation were clearly heard. Domingo had already played with great calm and solemnity in the second part of Richard Wagner's "Ring of Nibelungen".
Ironically, the great aria "Winter storms gave way to moonlight" was threatening to escape the maestro. The receipt for this one also had tenor Stephen Gould as Siegmund of some spectators. He also had to take some "boo" calls. On the other hand, Anja Kampe as Sieglinde, John Lundgren as Wotan and Catherine Forster as Brünnhilde were unconditionally celebrated
"The Valkyrie" in a production of Frank Castorf is a remnant of the most recent and highly controversial "Ring" from Bayreuth. Unusually for the Wagner Festival: The three other parties, "Das Rheingold", "Siegfried" and "Götterdämmerung", are no longer on the board this year. The "Die Walküre" has ended on Tuesday the first week of Bayreuth. The festival will last until August 29th.
