About

After Nikolaus Lehnhoff’s great success with 'Parsifal', 'Lohengrin' and 'Tristan und Isolde', this is his highly acclaimed Tannhäuser co-produced with De Nederlandse Opera and Festspielhaus Baden-Baden.

Nikolaus Lehnhoff’s production is based on the Paris version by Richard Wagner with an extended Venusberg scene and a ballet very surprisingly choreographed by Amir Hosseinpour and Jonathan Lunn. The minimalist staging and Raimund Bauer’s ingenious sets make this a Tannhäuser for our time.

The cast, as always with Lehnhoff, has nothing to match these days.

An extra feature, entitled “Tannhäuser – The Revolutionary”, includes interviews with stage director, conductor and cast as well as backstage material.

"The Deutsches Symphonieorchester Berlin outdid itself under Philippe Jordan [...] Camilla Nylund excelled as the chaste Elisabeth, and Ms.Meier, a musician with deep reserves of force and a gift for madness, was the perfect Venus." - New York Times

"Baden-Baden successfully attacks Bayreuth with Tannhäuser ... a noble feast of voices..." - FAZ
