Description

Following his heroic performance as Siegfried in the Met's 2019 Ring cycle, dashing Austrian tenor Andreas Schager returns as the knight Tannhäuser in Wagner's ravishing opera about love, lust and redemption. Soprano Elza van den Heever is the pure and virtuous Princess Elisabeth, alongside mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as the seductive goddess of love, Venus. Maestro Donald Runnicles takes to the podium for Otto Schenk's classic production, which also includes baritone Christian Gerhaher on his Met debut as Tannhäuser's knight Wolfram's mate and bass Georg Zeppenfeld as Landgraf Hermann.
