Movie Reviews of Wagner - Tannhauser (remastered)
Movie Review: Wagner - Tannhauser
Summary: 5 Stars
This marvelous MET stage production of Wagner's opera is the best I ever seen upon our days. It contents all of the best wagnerian singing and of course from outstanding superb voices as Eva Marton, Tatiana Troyanos and the passed away great american tenor Richard Cassilly. I believe this is one of the finest MET Wagnerian dramas ever staged: the set and costume design are gorgeous and obviously the beautiful MET Orchestra- Chorus and direction in the hands of maestro James Levine put the lovely touch of good sense of drama and feeling to this Wagner work.
Summary of Wagner - Tannhauser (remastered)
This Tannh?user is a fine example of something that unfortunately has become rare: a modern Wagner opera performance that Wagner would certainly have applauded. Under the artistic leadership of conductor James Levine, the production team of director Otto Schenk and designer G?nther Schneider-Siemssen has adhered strictly to the composer's wishes. These are not hard to fathom; they were clearly articulated in his lifetime and rigorously enforced at Bayreuth long after his death. But in the last half-century they have been frequently violated by his descendants and heirs, among others. The temptation to plumb these music dramas for symbols and allegories is almost irresistible. In this production, like the later Met edition of the Ring cycle, the artists sensibly allow each audience member to develop a personal interpretation without undue interference. The singers--Richard Cassilly, Eva Marton, Tatiana Troyanos, Bernd Weikl, and John Macurdy--are superbly matched to their roles. --Joe McLellanArt House & International DVD Video
