Tannhauser: Gran Teatre Del Liceu (Sebastian Weigle) (2012)

This exciting modern-day adaptation of Tannhäuser, Richard Wagners fable of love and redemption, features one of the great Wagner singers of our time in the lead role, Peter Seiffert. Using the magnificent space of Barcelonas Gran Teatre del Liceu in its entirety, renowned Canadian director Robert Carsen has transformed this mythic narration of medieval troubadours into a compelling and at times very amusing tale that plays out in a world of contemporary painters and art dealers. Features a fantastic cast, conducted by the Liceus principal conductor Sebastian Weigle, a Wagner specialist.
