It’s supposed to be a happy, visually stunning evening at the Munich National Theater, but it suddenly ends tragically shortly after it begins – with the death of the conductor.
Tragedy in the Munich National Theater: The conductor Stefan Soltesz collapsed during a performance and then died. With horror and great sadness, the Bavarian State Opera announced the death of the 73-year-old, said the spokesman for the house, Michael Wuerges.
