Germany’s cultural buildings are having a hard time

Germany's cultural buildings are having a hard time

The project went over richard wagner’s head. Between the laying of the foundation stone and the opening of his festival theater in bayreuth, the composer suffered through four agonizing years. Money ran out, gonners jumped ship. In 1878 he was finally able to inaugurate it. "I did not believe that they would succeed – the emperor told me."Wagner (1813-1883) later recalled.

Cost explosions, misplanning, missed deadlines – cultural buildings in germany, as the wagner case shows, have rarely had it easy. There is also no shortage of younger examples. From the elbphilharmonie to the berlin city palace, projects financed with taxpayers’ money need to be readjusted at best; at worst, years of delays and scandals are involved.

Scallywag thrills at the play

Who doesn't know him, the funny, cheeky wooden boy who wants to become a real boy?? Many have already tried their hand at performing pinocchio. Not all of them were successful. The production by teacher irene hartmann at the rodachtal elementary school in marktrodach is a hit.

Irene hartmann has selected the appropriate inserts so that all classes can participate. She also chose the musical backgrounds. The teacher rewrote the play so that it would fit her acting group. She has been rehearsing for half a year with the 19 actors from the third and fourth grades. They slip into a total of 33 roles that first have to be learned. Colorful costumes and endless make-up rounded off the preparations.
