On Friday evening, the 73-year-old conductor Stefan Soltész collapsed during a performance at the Bavarian National Theater and died a few hours later. “Shortly before the end of the first act, Mr. Soltész collapsed in the ditch,” said spokesman Michael Wuerges. “He was then immediately treated by spectators and the theater doctor.” The artistic director Serge Dorny explained: “We are losing a gifted conductor. I am losing a good friend. My thoughts are with his wife Michaela.”
