Tannhäuser

About This Movie

So, ‘Tannhäuser’ from 2014, right? This production at the Staatsoper Berlin has a distinctive feel, especially with Barenboim at the helm. The music is powerful, as expected from Wagner, but it’s Sasha Waltz's staging that really stands out. The choreography adds a layer of depth, almost like a dance that intertwines with the music. The atmosphere is steeped in romanticism and tension, capturing Wagner’s themes of love and redemption. It’s interesting how the pacing allows you to really immerse in both the visuals and the score. The cast is quite stellar, bringing their own interpretations to the characters, which is always a treat for collectors who appreciate nuanced performances.
