Bayreuth calls back an old stalwart
OperaThe Festival has announced a replacement as Erik for Andreas Schager, who is singing Parsifal instead of Joseph Calleja, who previously replaced… and so on.
The new Dutchman is Tomislav Mužek, who sang the role in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018.
erik is not the dutchman; he is not even a dutchman; he is norwegian; a propos to nothing in particular there is a new dutchaman as opposed to the one originally announced for this season – michael volle will replace the originally announced john lundgren – but that swap was made about a month ago
What happened to Michael Volle ?
I know it’s easy to get all your gods and dwarfs mixed up, but Tomislav Mužek replaces Andreas Schager as Erik in „Der fliegende Holländer“ – the title role is set to be sung by Michael Volle who is replacing someone else.
Very good choice. First-rate replacements this year.
Dutchman? Surely you mean Eric?
He looks like a young Meatloaf.
So, did Calleja finally find himself slightly miscast?
