K Wagner: What could she have planned for poor old Tristan and Isolde? |
Wednesday will not only be the last performance of Katharina's Meistersinger this season but for a while. At the earliest it will be revived in 2016 - maybe.
Of course, this begs the question, what's next for the de-constructionist director? How about Tristan und Isolde in 2015? Don't those two have enough problems as it is? You have been warned. Papier-mâché makers get your tenders in now.
But not to worry, we at least have Frank Castorf's "postdramatic" Ring Cycle to look forward to in 2013 - the oldest "angry young man" in German theatre.
