With a change of conductor, and other cast changes, Bayreuth has "pulled out the big guns" in an effort - some have argued - to save Sebastian Baumgarten's Tannhauser, Whatever you might think of the production, with the changes noted, this is certainly a performance that you want to listen to. While the performance is presently live as I type you can - if you have already missed the beginning - click the link below and, courtesy of Bartok Radio, listen from the beginning. You will then be able to hear "on demand" for sometime after.
