As we wrote in the post below, the Bayreuther Festspiele is gearing-up for their opening night this Sunday with a new production of Wagner's Lohengrin. But in the days before the festival starts, the production is already making headlines: At last night's dress rehearsal as Elsa's Annette Dasch was backstage changing costumes for the final act, the soprano was struck on her head by one of the Parsifal props. Suffering a light concussion, she was unable to finish rehearsals (her cover, Anna Gabler, finished for her still rocking out in her street clothes). It's all good, thankfully, as Dasch will appear in Sunday's opening night.
