He first sang in Bayreuth in 1972! In a production of Das Liebesverbot as part of the summer Jugendfestspieltreffen! There is an LP recording somewhere……..
I think he and Ralf Lukas were the only two Bayreuth natives to sing at the Festspiele, but I could be wrong. Funnily enough, I though of him this afternoon when I saw a car registered MA-US *** in the car park. He’s something of a legend on the Green Hill.
Oh, he must be the one they censored in Tennessee.
