Rediscover this inimitable fixture of the operatic repertoire in the mythical Teatro La Fenice, Venice, in a brilliant staging by Calixto Bieito, with the energetic Paul McNamara in the title role. Inspired by the historical figure of Tannhäuser, a minnesänger (minstrel) of the 13th century, as well as the medieval legend surrounding the singing competition held in Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Germany, Wagner's masterwork explores the opposition between spiritual and carnal love, respectively embodied by the personalities of Elisabeth and Venus. First deemed scandalous through the themes that it displays, the work, which was misunderstood in the days of its premiere, is now considered a turning point in the history of the genre... This is just one of hundreds of stunning operas available on medici.tv, the web's leading classical music streaming platform!.
