We send him our hearty congratulations.
In an interview, Dr Specht emphasised that Mannheim has always been one of the most active and committed societies in respect of the Scholarship Foundation.
When asked about the scholarship holders, he answered, among other things:
"I think the young people feel that Bayreuth is an authentic place. This special aura can only be experienced here. On the other hand, one finds here contemporary and new interpretations of Wagner's works again and again. This can also be controversial. But that's what makes it all so lively, and that's what the young people feel."
