German Opera Director Nikolaus Lehnhoff, Known for Janáček Stagings, Dead at 76
Opera Director Nikolaus Lehnhoff died last Saturday, at age 76, according the German news agency DPA. Known most recently for bringing the characters and music of Leos Janáček new life with his directing talent and reviving the creative spirit of the East Sussex Opera House, Expatica reported that Lehnhoff was respected for his "swish, elegant, but always thought-provoking stagings that avoided some of the provocative excesses of some of his more controversial colleagues."

Over two sold-out performances, alongside pertinent works from Wagner, Tchaikovsky and Berlioz, Hong ably led One World in the five movements of his three-month operatic creation. Walter White, Jesse Pinkman and Skyler White all made appearances.
