i wonder if it could be this one from 2008 not 2009?"Recorded live at the Bayreuth Festival in 2008, this production stars a host of international stars including Michelle Breedt, Albert Dohmen, Stephen Gould, Hans-Peter Konig, Linda Watson & Eva-Maria Westbroek. Christian Thielemann, one of the most sought-after conductors in the world... This 14-disc CD box set marks the first ever Opus Arte CD release, and the start of an exciting new direction for the company."

@windstorm1000 I suspect it's kind of sad for a conductor of his genius... do this Magnificent music AT BAYREUTH with their stupid staging, or... pass it up? What a horrible choice. I have to agree about the modernism-techno nonsense for staging though. It was UGLY 40 years ago and still is, it's just been done to death. How about a classical RING sometime???

I meant the director(for katarina wagner)

[Napoleontas]

Are the scenery in a modernist style,?

I hate modernisms especially in Wagner, is katarina the composer, she has done a lot to develop a bad reputation

[LordMgls]

No, Loge: this is not bel canto. - It is Wagner...

Oh, my gad, look at this hideious techno scenery/costumes!! What are the Germans doing to their own mythology!!! Cosima and Richard must be turning over in their graves--the techno directors are trying to ruin Wagner--and much else of opera. They are Frankensteing monsters--schweinhunts!! Fortunately, these mugs can't ruin Wagner's music. Thielmann should be ashamed of himself allowing these garbargy sets to come to Bayruth.

i will ha e to wait 20 years to go to Bayreuth since the waiting list is 10 years and im only 16 but that is if i have enough money to go allthough i herd it is better if you go on the days because the autoban is full up so people cancel so the tickets are reduced and affordable but is that a risk worth taking since i live in britian there could be a trip for nothing

Saw Frankfurt Opera's Rheingold last May.That was superb,with the best Wagner tuba playing I've ever heard to compliment a great orchestra cast and production.Just not possible in Britain!
