Intérprete: Christopher Kaplan

Ungewöhnliche Bilder und außergewöhnliche Rollengestaltung durch Michael Volle finden auch in diesem Jahr frenetische Zustimmung.

Kosky’s production manages to maintain all hallmarks of a 16th-century fairy tale, while juxtaposing them with questions of deep human, political and artistic problems. Regietheater at its best.

The label “most opera directors” does *not* apply to Barrie Kosky, who makes his Bayreuth debut with a Meistersinger that pulls no punches.
