Year: 1913
Runtime: 40 mins
Director: Lucius Henderson
Based on Wagner’s opera, this three‑reel drama follows wandering minstrel Tannhäuser who wins the love of Elizabeth, the Landgrave’s niece. Enchanted by Venus, he retreats to the sensual Venusberg, then returns to the court and praises her, provoking outrage. Prayer and Elizabeth’s intercession break the spell; he becomes a monk and journeys to Rome for absolution while Elizabeth waits, growing frail.
