Jürgen Flimm, a great theater artist, director, and artistic director, passed away on February 4, 2023. At the Bayreuth Festival, his Ring production from 2000-2004 remains vividly remembered. The Hamburg theater director knew how to provoke his audience without unsettling them, and, staying as close to the text as possible, to theatrically “orchestrate” almost every scene. Jürgen Flimm was an artistic director for nearly five decades and made theater history with many of his productions. As a university lecturer and professor, he inspired and shaped subsequent generations. We will cherish Jürgen Flimm’s memory!
On the Death of Jürgen Flimm!
