From this
to ~this~
Greeted by uniformly appalling reviews every year since it opened in 2007, Katharina Wagner's Meistersinger production has been tarted up for this year's Bayreuth Festival.
The final act has been substantially revamped, the relationship between Sachs and Eva made more demonstrative, and for some reason Walther (Klaus Florian Vogt) now looks like Steffi Graf on a bad hair day.
Truly Dreadful.
