There was a production of Richard Wagner’s “Tannhauser” done in Dusseldorf. The director changed the setting from medieval Europe to Nazi Germany. Tannhauser was shown as a Nazi guard shooting Jews in a concentration camp. The audience booed very loudly. The production shut down after one performance, and has had to refund money for any further performances.

Hitler is apparently a fan of Game of Thrones.
