Soon she proudly shares her Wagner calendar, with photos from recent Bayreuth productions signed by assistant directors and former stars: “You are the fourth Rhine Maiden, Sonja.” Next on display is a clay bust of Richard, from her daughter’s days...
...high start-up costs, "It's a big risk, especially if you take into account that everybody is doing it, and everybody thinks this is the future." Still, back in Germany, farmer Winkelmann is enjoying the boom. His farm, called Flottwedel, offers guests a hay bed plus a sumptuous breakfast for €12 per adult and €9 for kids between 6 and 12 (j7 for 2- to 6-year-olds).
