Katharina Wagner

Katharina Wagner – Opera Director and Managing Director of the Bayreuth Festival is now one of the ambassadors of goals4kids. She has an excellent network available through her career as Opera Director and would like to share it with goals4kids. “I hope that with my contacts, I am able to support many projects in education and culture, which open up perspectives to children in Germany and South Africa,” says Katharina. Social commitment has always governed the activities of the young director. Before her decision to become ambassador for goals4kids, she dedicated her time to various local projects involving children and adolescents, i.e. the production of an opera for children in Bayreuth. Katharina Wagner was convinced by the relevance and sustainability of the projects of goals4kids.
