Life

Born in Kassel, Lehmann was born son of the sculptor Kurt Lehmann[2] and an art historian. In 1955 he passed his Abitur at the Waldorfschule in Hanover. Afterwards he studied music at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold from 1955 to 1957 and completed from 1957 to 1958 a study of art history and theatre studies at the Free University of Berlin.

After his studies, Lehmann became assistant of Carl Ebert and Gustav Rudolf Sellner at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and assisted Wieland and Wolfgang Wagner at the Bayreuth Festival between 1960 and 1973. In 1970, he staged Wagner's Tannhäuser at the Bayerischen Staatsoper München, and in 1974 Zimmermann's Die Soldaten in Nuremberg.[3]

From 1976 to 1980 Lehmann worked as opera director at the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden and from 1980 to 2001 was opera director at the Staatsoper Hannover.[4]
