The Silenced Voices of Bayreuth
from Wagner Operas Podcast · host Vincent Vargas
Currently at the Bayreuth Festival there is an exhibit called "Silenced Voices." It is a tribute to the many singers, artists, and musicians who, during the Third Reich, were banned from the festival because they were Jewish. In this podcast I pay tribute to three of these distinguished Wagnerians: the legendary soprano Lilli Lehmann, the dashing baritone Herbert Janssen, and the great bass-baritone Friedrich Schorr, who was the greatest Wotan of his time.
