It is with great regret that John Lundgren has to cancel his participation as “Wotan” and “Wanderer” in the new production “Der Ring des Nibelungen” at the Bayreuth Festival 2022. For personal reasons, he is unfortunately unable to be available for the intensive rehearsal work necessary for the new production in Bayreuth from now until the premiere on July 31. However, the Bayreuth Festival are pleased that John Lundgren will join this year’s festival at a later date and embody the title role in the revival of “Der fliegende Holländer”, which he had already taken on at the 2021 premiere. The artistic direction is extremely grateful that two outstanding artists, Egils Silins as Wotan in “Das Rheingold” and Tomasz Konieczny as Wotan in “Walküre” and Wanderer in “Siegfried”, will take over the roles at short notice.
