Richard Wagner? Harald Schmidt? He has no idea! That's right. But he is enthusiastic and above all didn't want to miss the opportunity to appear on stage with Klaus Florian Vogt. The world premiere of the show will be at the Stadttheater Flensburg, where Vogt's career began and Schmidt's will probably end. Once again. Until then, the former assistant organist will be asking the world star questions that have never been heard before between Bayreuth and the MET: How do you memorize the text? Is it spontaneous or rehearsed? Does knowledge of music interfere with opera direction? The evening is expertly accompanied by pianist Jobst Schneiderat.
Premiere: 2 June 2024, 6.00 pm.
