Tannhäuser sehnt sich aus dem Reich der Venus in sein irdisches Leben zurück. Erst mit dem Anruf der Jungfrau Maria gelingt es ihm, der Göttin zu entkommen. Hermann von Thüringen und seine ritterliche Jagdgesellschaft heißen den lang Verschollenen willkommen. Die Aussicht auf die Begegnung mit der geliebten Elisabeth bewegt ihn zur Heimkehr. In einem Sängerwettstreit auf der Wartburg soll das Wesen der Liebe ergründet werden. Die geladenen Sänger singen von der Reinheit des Gefühls, Tannhäuser jedoch preist die Leidenschaft der Venus. Das offene Bekenntnis zur Lust bringt die Gesellschaft in Aufruhr; man will mit Waffen gegen Tannhäuser vorgehen, doch Elisabeth, obgleich selbst verletzt, schützt sein Leben. Der Landgraf erlegt Tannhäuser eine Bußfahrt nach Rom auf. Die Pilger jedoch kehren ohne Tannhäuser zurück; nur er allein hat nicht die päpstliche Vergebung erlangt. Ihm droht ewige Verdammnis, der er durch die Rückkehr zu Venus zu entgehen hofft. Die Anrufung von Elisabeths Namen lässt ihn wieder zur Besinnung kommen – im Angesicht ihres Todes findet seine zerrissene Seele nunmehr auch Erlösung.

Das Theater als Traumort: Ausgehend von der Überlegung, dass Venus und Elisabeth lediglich zwei Möglichkeiten darstellen, die eine Person in sich zu vereinen vermag, ist Wagners Oper Ausgangspunkt für ein Bühnen-Spiel mit den Facetten und Möglichkeiten im zwischenmenschlichen Miteinander. Nicht nur der mittelalterliche Moralkodex, dem das Personal des Stückes vordergründig unterworfen, ist dabei eine der bestimmenden Ebenen, sondern auch die Wandlungen des Blickwinkels, die durch die entgegenstehenden dispositionellen Ausprägungen in einer Person möglich sind. Nicht mehr der Hin- und Hergerissene steht im Zentrum der Beachtung, sondern viel stärker als allgemein üblich die Hin- und Herreißende: Venus / Elisabeth. TANNHÄUSER aus der Sicht der einen Frau, die viel mehr ist als lediglich Hure oder Heilige. Mehr als dieses „Entweder-Oder“ interessiert uns, in diesem Werk der „Kunst der Liebe“ nachzuspüren.

„Da Ludwig der Milde, Landgraf von Thüringen, auf einem Kreuzzug im Morgenlande gestorben war, verließ er keine Kinder, und das Land fiel an seinen Bruder Hermann. Zu dessen Zeiten blühte in deutschen Landen der Minnesang und ward geübt und geliebt von Fürsten und Edeln, und Fürst Hermann versammelte viele Sänger zu seinem glänzenden Hofhalt auf der Wartburg. Eine Zeit nach ihm lebte auch ein Minnesänger im Frankenlande, der führte wie die meisten seiner Sanggenossen ein Wanderleben. Da habe ihn, als er am Hörseelenberge vorüberzog, die Erscheinung eines wunderholden Frauenbildes aufgehalten, das sei niemand anders als eben Frau Venus selbst gewesen, und ihm gewinkt, ihr in den Berg hineinzufolgen, und obschon auch ihn der treue Eckart gewarnt, habe der Ritter doch nicht zu widerstehen vermocht, und sei hineingegangen, und habe sich von Frau Venus umstricken lassen, und habe ein ganzes Jahr im Berge verweilt. Viele alte Lieder singen und sagen, wie nun die Reue über den Tannhäuser gekommen, daß er sich besonnen und in sich gegangen, und habe wieder aus dem Berge herausbegehrt. Als er solches nun äußerte, erinnerte Frau Venus ihn an seinen Eid, den er ihr geschworen, allein Tannhäuser leugnete ihr solches in ihr schönes Gesicht hinein. Darauf erbot sie sich, ihm eine andere Gespielin statt ihrer zu geben, aber er sprach, so er solches täte, müsse er ewig ob solcher Vielweiberei in der Glut der Hölle brennen. Da lachte Frau Venus hell auf und fragte ihn, was er doch von der Hölle Glut schwatze. Ob er diese je bei ihr empfunden habe? Ob nicht ihr roter Mund zu allen Stunden ihm freundlich zugelacht? So ging der Streit noch eine Weile fort, bis Tannhäuser in seiner Undankbarkeit für alles Liebe und Gute, was Frau Venus an ihm getan, sie eine Teufelin schimpfte. Das nahm Frau Venus endlich übel und drohte, es ihm entgelten zu lassen. Da schrie der Tannhäuser die Jungfrau Maria an, ihm von dem Weibe zu helfen, und da sprach Frau Venus mit Stolz: Nun könne er hingehn, er möge sich nur bei dem Greise beurlauben – er werde dennoch ihr Lob noch preisen. Nun ging der Tannhäuser reuevoll aus dem Venusberge und wallete gen Rom zum Papst Urban, dem klagte und beichtete er seine Sünden und bekannte, daß er bei einer Frau mit Namen Venus ein Jahr lang gewesen. Der Papst hielt in seiner Hand den hohen Stab mit dem römischen Doppelkreuze und sprach zu dem reuigen Sänger: So wenig der dürre Stab hier grünet, kommst du, der du bei des Teufels Hulde warst, zu Gottes Hulde! Vergebens flehte der Tannhäuser, ihm eine jahrelange Buße aufzuerlegen, dann zog er wie der aus dem ewigen Rom voll Leid und Jammer und klagte bitterlich, daß des Papstes hartes Wort ihn auf ewig von Maria, der himmlischen Huldin, scheide, daß Gott ihn nicht annehme, und verwünschete sich wieder zu Frau Venus in den Hörseelenberg. Die stand schon da und lachte hell und spottete ihm entgegen recht teufelisch: Seid gottwillkommen, Tannhäuser, mein lieber Herr, ich hab Euer recht lang entbehrt, mein auserkorener Buhle!, und lachte noch einmal und riß ihn durch die Höhlenpforte mit sich hinab. Aber am dritten Tage danach, da hub des Papstes Stab an zu grünen, und nun sandte der Papst Boten aus in alle Lande, wo der Tannhäuser hingekommen wäre – der war aber wieder in dem Berg bei seinem schlimmen Lieb …“ (Ludwig Bechstein)

Tannhäuser longs to return to his earthly life from the realm of Venus. Only when the Virgin Mary invokes him does he succeed in escaping the goddess. Hermann von Thuringia and his knightly hunting party welcome the long-lost man. The prospect of meeting his beloved Elisabeth moves him to return home. The essence of love is to be explored in a singing competition at the Wartburg. The invited singers sing of the purity of feeling, but Tannhauser praises the passion of Venus. The open confession of lust upsets society; They want to take action against Tannhäuser with weapons, but Elisabeth, although injured herself, protects his life. The landgrave ordered Tannhäuser to go to Rome to do penance. The pilgrims, however, return without Tannhauser; only he alone did not obtain papal forgiveness. He is threatened with eternal damnation, which he hopes to avoid by returning to Venus. The invocation of Elisabeth's name brings him to his senses again - in the face of her death, his torn soul now also finds redemption.

The theater as a dream location: Based on the consideration that Venus and Elisabeth represent only two possibilities that one person is able to combine, Wagner's opera is the starting point for a stage play with the facets and possibilities of interpersonal interaction. Not only the medieval moral code to which the characters in the play are ostensibly subject is one of the determining levels, but also the changes in perspective that are possible through the conflicting dispositional characteristics in a person. The torn person is no longer the focus of attention, but rather the torn person much more than usual: Venus / Elisabeth. TANNHÄUSER from the point of view of a woman who is much more than just a whore or a saint.

"Since Louis the Mild, Landgrave of Thuringia, died on a crusade in the Orient, he left no children, and the land fell to his brother Hermann. At his time, minnesang flourished in Germany and was practiced and loved by princes and nobles, and Prince Hermann assembled many singers for his glittering court at the Wartburg. A time after him there lived a minnesinger in Franconia, who, like most of his fellow singers, led a wandering life. Then, as he was passing the Hörseelenberg, he was stopped by the appearance of a wonderful female image, which was none other than Frau Venus herself, and motioned to him to follow her into the mountain, and although the faithful Eckart had warned him too, the knight said but could not resist, and went in, and let Frau Venus ensnare me and stayed in the mountains for a whole year. Many old songs sing and tell how remorse has now come over Tannhauser, that he has thought about himself and turned to himself, and has longed to get out of the mountain again. When he said this, Frau Venus reminded him of the oath he had sworn to her, but Tannhauser denied it in her beautiful face. Thereupon she offered to give him another playmate instead of hers, but he said that if he did such a thing, he would have to burn in the embers of hell forever because of such polygamy. Then Frau Venus laughed out loud and asked him what he was talking about about the embers of hell. Had he ever felt this with her? Didn't her red mouth laugh at him at all hours? So the quarrel went on for a while until Tannhauser, in his ingratitude for all the love and good that Frau Venus had done for him, called her a devil. Frau Venus finally took offense at this and threatened to make him pay for it. Then Tannhauser yelled at the Virgin Mary to help him get rid of the woman, and then Frau Venus said proudly: Now he could go there, he could only take a leave of absence with the old man - he would still praise her. Now the Tannhauser went penitently from the Venusberg and walked towards Rome to Pope Urban, to whom he lamented and confessed his sins and confessed that he had been with a woman named Venus for a year. The Pope held in his hand the high staff with the Roman double cross and spoke to the penitent singer: As little as the dry staff grows green here, you, who were in the favor of the devil, come into the favor of God! In vain Tannhauser begged that years of penance should be imposed on him, then he left eternal Rome full of sorrow and misery and complained bitterly that the Pope's harsh word was separating him forever from Mary, the heavenly Servant, that God would not accept him , and cursed himself back to Mrs. Venus in the Hörseelenberg. She was already standing there, laughing brightly and mocking him like a devil: Welcome, Tannhäuser, my dear sir, I've been without you for quite a long time, my chosen lover! But on the third day after that, the Pope's staff began to green, and now the Pope sent messengers to all countries where Tannhäuser would have gone - but he was back in the mountain with his bad lover..." ( then he left eternal Rome full of sorrow and misery and lamented bitterly that the pope's harsh word was separating him forever from Mary, the heavenly grace, that God would not accept him, and cursed himself back to Frau Venus in Hörseelenberg . She was already standing there, laughing brightly and mocking him like a devil: Welcome, Tannhäuser, my dear sir, I've been without you for quite a long time, my chosen lover!
