DramaMusic

A three‑act Wagner grand opera that follows the knight‑singer Tannhäuser, torn between the sensual realm of the goddess Venus and the pure love of his betrothed Elizabeth. After boasting of his affair during a singers’ contest, he is expelled, seeks the Pope’s forgiveness through pilgrimage, yet is denied reunion with Elizabeth in this life. This recording captures Götz Friedrich’s 1978 Bayreuth staging, conducted by Sir Colin Davis.
