Diplomatic as always, Unkle Normy (Norman Lebrecht for the general public) comments on the Wagner family shenanigans we reported about earlier this week:
The only way to redeem the Wagner shrine from its appalling past is to
remove the Wagners from its management. They are the last
unconstitutional monarchy on the European continent and their festival
is among the last enclaves of encrusted privilege to receive public
funds, a regressive spa for the super-rich. It will take more than a
pair of squabbling sisters to refresh that scenario.
