Bayreuth director loses his day job
NewsThe German director Uwe Eric Laufenberg has notified the Hesse state government that he will step down as intendant of the state opera in Wiesbaden in 2125, when he is 65. The government had been in no hurry to discuss his contract, which was due shortly for renewal.
Laufenberg has run the opera since 2014.
He earned notoriety with a bloodbath Parsifal at Bayreuth two years later.
What a remarkable longevity.
Indeed, 111 years as Intendant!
111 years as intendant and still looking 65 years old then, only. Must be a vampire. But we all knew that intendants are vampires, didn’t we? 😉
Perhaps a close relative to Emilia Marty, a.k.a. Elina Makropulos.
German government employee takes retirement at age 65. This is a story?
