In the summer of 2022, South African tenor Siyabonga Maqungo celebrated his debut at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, that holy of holies for Wagner-fans, with a rousing success — and was invited to return this year. Of course, he will portray not one but three roles at this year’s Bayreuth Festival: Walther von der Vogelweide in “Tannhäuser”, the First Knight of the Grail in “Parsifal”, and the Young Sailor in “Tristan und Isolde”, reprising his role from last year.
