Tannhäuser by Wagner, Richard, Κυρ 01 Μαι 2022, Aπό (2022/2022), Σκηνοθετημένο από Kornél Mundruczó, αγωγός Kent Nagano, Staatsoper, Hamburg, Germany

An artist in contradiction - to himself, to society, to the beloved Elisabeth, to the erotic fascination of Venus. In the medieval legend of the Singers' War, Richard Wagner searches for answers in the years before the revolution of 1848, which will fail and make him a wanted refugee. Is conformity the death of art? Is there an immediate truth beyond morality and church? How great is the power of love? Wagner's decades-long struggle for recognition is also reflected in the minstrel's failure . Again and again he dealt with the work, the first performance in Dresden in 1845 met with incomprehension, the first performance in Paris in 1861 became a scandal. “I still owe the world a Tannhauser”, was Wagner's summary shortly before his death.
