Pop-Concert - Claudia Roth has arrived in the Swiftie Era
The Culture Minister as a Swiftie: Claudia Roth (69) was in Munich at the Taylor-Swift concert and was raving about it. The Eras Tour concert was "an impressive display of power and passion," wrote Roth (Greens) on Instagram. "It was great to witness everyone looking out for each other and feeling safe." Roth also thanked them for the beautiful friendship bracelets – "I have definitely entered my Swiftie Era." On Thursday evening, Roth was in Bayreuth for the opening of the Bayreuth Festspiele for the premiere of the new production of Richard Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde."
On Thursday, Roth was still in Bayreuth for the opening of the Bayreuth Festspiele for the premiere of the new production of Richard Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde."
High culture, pop culture - for Roth, who was once the manager of the rock band Ton, Steine, Scherben, is a broader cultural concept. Recently, her thoughts caused a stir, perhaps we could perform other works in Bayreuth besides Wagner.
After criticism and ridicule, Roth explained: She is pondering the question of how cultural institutions can win over the audience of tomorrow. "And the audience of tomorrow in our country, which is oriented towards Europe and the world, will be even more diverse than it is today. That's why we should all pay more attention to culture."
