Katharina Wagner loses Leipzig opera
NewsLeipzig Oper has cancelled the Bayreuth chief’s upcoming production of Lohengrin, which was due to start rehearsals there yesterday.
The reason given by artistic director Ulf Schirmer for the abrupt withdrawal is ‘technical difficulties with the stage design.’
Ms Wagner is not at all pleased. ‘We were all very much looking forward to the completion of the new production that had already been rehearsed in Barcelona,’ she said.
The Barcelona staging has been put back to 2025.
Leipzig will perform Lohengrin next month in a substitute production by Patrick Bialdyga.
