Well, judging by the stills photo, this production may actually REVERSE the modern trend away from CDs to DVDs! Some fine singing (presumably James Rutherford) in arguably the most difficult aria Sachs has to sing during the 5 hour marathon: "Euch macht ihr's leicht" : there's just nowhere to hide! Rutherford brings it off very well, I think; after this piece 'Verachtet mir die Meister nicht" is like a lap of honour, though you have to save something for the top Es at the end.

Eine Schande, was derzeit in Bayreuth mit Wagners edlem Werk getrieben wird!
Eine Frechheit gegenüber Wagner-Verehrern, die über 10 Jahre auf eine Karte warten!
Man sollte keine Karten mehr bestellen, damit dieser Unfug aufhört!

Poor Wagner. And I bet it can get worse. Why are these talentless women still running a great musical event?

it can't possibly get any worse than this can it.

James Rutherford (the Hans Sachs in this production) is/was coached by John Tomlinson - and it shows! (He even mimics JT's 'wobble')
Crappo production by the look of things - glad I saved my €s.
