This is a huge mistake. The 'Dresden' version dates from 1845. Wagner made huge strides in musical innovation during the next 15 years. And of all his operas the only one he ever amended is Tannhaeuser. And so the 'Paris' version (1860) shows all the musical advances of his 'Tristan' period, and that is why every opera house except dumb old Bayreuth puts on the 'Paris' version. The main difference is in Act I, in the Venusberg music, but smatterings of change are to be found in Act II also. After you hear the Paris version you will be quite bored (if that is possible with any Wagner opera) to hear the 'Dresden'. So, avoid this DVD. It's a shame the Met did not produce a DVD with Levine - I saw a magnificent 'Paris' Tannhaeuser there only a couiple of years ago, in this our era of perversion known as 'producer opera'.
