According to an impeccable source (click
here), there will be a Salzburg-Paris co-production of
Die Meistersinger during Wagner's bicentenary year. (I really should not be publicising this, since I do not want to deny myself the chance of a ticket!) The director will be none other than Stefan Herheim, whose
Parsifal,
Lohengrin, and
Entführung aus dem Serail remain three of the greatest opera stagings I have had the privilege to see.
Parsifal, we recently learned, will at last be recorded for DVD release, next year.
