Opera Concert Tannhäuser by Richard Wagner
10/23(Sat)14:30
Tannhaüser is one of Richard Wagner’s master pieces with its overture frequently performed as a separate piece in concerts now. Based on a medieval legend, the story grapples with theme of lust versus love and centers on the struggle of a minnesinger named Tannhaüser who tries to redeem himself and his love for his mortal lover Elizabeth after his encounter with Venus. Banished by his own people and no hope for absolution, the only way for salvation is to wait for the Pope’s crosier to flower. Wagner revised Tannhaüser many times and the well-loved “Paris” version adopted the format of French grand opera and added ballet music. This will be the first time that the “Paris” version (1875) is presented to the audience of Taiwan.
Wagner’s ‘Tannhaüser’ is an opera that combines elements of Romantic-era storytelling with those of French grand opera. － Opera Wire
