UPPER FRANCONIA, BAVARIA, AUG 3 – Piotr Beczała performed the demanding title role in Wagner's Lohengrin twice within 41 hours, receiving thunderous ovations in both Munich and Bayreuth, Germany.
- On Friday at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, Bayreuth Festival celebrated conductor Christian Thielemann's return with Wagner's Lohengrin, less than 41 hours after his final bows at Munich's Bavarian State Opera.
- Veteran tenor Beczała, who has sung Lohengrin in seven productions, replaced Roberto Alagna 27 days before the 2018 premiere.
- Less than 41 hours after his final bows at Munich's Bavarian State Opera, Beczała traveled 150 miles to Bayreuth and earned ovations at both venues.
- During the run, Serge Dorny praised Beczała's mature, adaptable approach and meticulous preparation, and Eva-Maria Abelein hailed him as 'exceptional,' Abelein said Saturday.
- Organizers at the Bayreuth Festival may lean on Beczała's proven reliability, given his seven-city Lohengrin experience and his 2018 substitution for Roberto Alagna.
