To his and our greatest regret, Stephen Gould has to cancel his participation in this year’s Bayreuth Festival on urgent medical advice. Festival Director Katharina Wagner would like to express her sincere thanks to Andreas Schager (for the role of Siegfried in “Götterdämmerung”), Clay Hilley (for the title role in “Tristan und Isolde”) and Klaus-Florian Vogt (for the title role in “Tannhäuser”). We wish Stephen Gould a speedy recovery!
