Berlin / Bayreuth (dpa) - The head of the Richard Wagner Festival in Bayreuth, Katharina Wagner, has welcomed the initiative by Minister of State for Culture Monika Grütters (CDU) for new structures on the Green Hill.
She is pleased that Grütters “would like to renew the outdated structures that I have questioned for years in order to enable the Bayreuther Festspiel-GmbH, its employees and, last but not least, the management to continue working effectively at the highest artistic level”, the "Passauer Neue Presse" quoted the director.
Like Bavaria and the Society of Friends of Bayreuth, the federal government holds 29 percent of the shares in the company.
Grütters wants to take on the structures.
"If you recognize difficulties, you shouldn't put the solution on the back burner," said Grütters of the dpa in Berlin.
"My concern is that there are sensible and effective structures in Bayreuth."
The question is whether the current statutes and partnership agreements are still up to date today.
