Another Wagner goes
mainThe Beethven Festival in Bonn has announced a successor to Nike Wagner, 74, who will step down in October 2021.
The new chief is Steven Walter, 34, a German-American cellist who runs a festival in Esslingen.
With the exit of Nike from Bonn and her cousin Katharina from Bayreuth, we may see the beginning of the end of the Wagner family saga.
This is keeping Gotterdammerung in the family, the end of a saga once and for all. The decline and fall of the House of Wagner – your next book, perhaps, Norman?
And who or what is preventing Nike or Eva Wagner from taking over Bayreuth?
Why do you think 2 people in their mid 70s aren’t going take over at Bayreuth. There are several Wagners in the 40s from that side of the family.
