Wagner: Tannhäuser - Bacchanale- Bayreuth 1930 (colourised)

Bacchanale choreography from the 1930 Bayreuth production. Originally silent footage. The production was conducted by Arturo Toscanini and, later, by Karl Elmendorff for a recording. The production was directed by Siegfried Wagner. A glimpse into Bayreuth history, seen here in colour. The audio in this clip has been added and is sadly neither Toscanini nor Elmendorff, but is from 1972 by Erich Leinsdorf. I’m aware that, unfortunately, the music doesn’t match the movements - you don’t need to leave a comment telling me! It’s just to provide background audio. Colorized via Google Colab AI.
