TANNHÄUSER

Tannhäuser is one of the most controversial works of Richard Wagner. Its gestation is extremely complex, as the two versions that have followed in fifteen years: the debut in Dresden in 1845 and the Paris representation of 1861, which corresponds to the fiasco decreed by the public the definitive consecration of the composer by French intellectual circles. The work brings together two Nordic sagas independent of each other, that of the poet Tannhäuser and that of Tenzone of singers at Wartburg. Compared to more traditional Flying Dutchman, this is where the musician honed his compositional art and his expertise dramaturgical
