About

First DVD release of the first complete film from Bayreuth.

Götz Friedrich’s controversial Tannhäuser production from 1978 scandalized the Bayreuth old guard while revealing Tannhäuser’s revolutionary qualities to a new age of Wagner lovers. This brilliantly iconoclastic production, superbly sung and conducted, ushered in a new age of Wagner interpretation.

Choreography of the ‘Bacchanal’ is by John Neumeier and set design and costumes by the international well known stage designer Jürgen Rose. A superb cast led by Spas Wenkoff as Tannhäuser, Gwyneth Jones as Venus as well as Elisabeth and Bernd Weikl as Wolfram.

Bulgarian tenor Spas Wenkoff is a great singing actor in the title role, while Gwyneth Jones manages her Venus-Elisabeth assignment with glorious tone and stunning stage presence” (New York Daily)

Conducted by Sir Colin Davis, the score is interpreted splendidly” (The New York Times)

In 5.1 DTS Surround Sound.
