These two burn the stage with their white-hot passion---makes the heart pound!...and these two make it utterly believable that the characters are brother and sister....the most exciting,sexy and wonderfully disturbing Act 1 ever!

@rusalkaism Peter Hofmann suffered for many years from parkonsons's desease and died in 2010.

@rusalkaism I attended the 1976 production, the third cycle, and forever Walkure will be Peter Hofmann and Jeannine Altmeyer. I know other artists have done just as well, in some productions perhaps better; I don't care. Firstly is the personal association having attended live, but moreover there was such power and chemistry between those two... RIP Peter Hofmann, you are missed.

Is there another person in the vid besides Peter, LOL I can't take my eyes off him. How sad.

RIP... hottest Siegmund ever.
And what a beautiful, dark and yet shining voice!
If he was born a baritone, he would've been a great Billy Budd too. Ideal looks... (Oh my, imagine him vs Matti there. Chills!)

Hoffmann will be sadly missed...and this was a great performance and production!

In Memoriam Peter Hofmann. Er war einer der ganz Großen Wagner-Tenöre.
A star is gone.
Can anyone tell me is this was recorded as a movie/dvd or was it a live performance? If it was a live performance, it is wonderful the way these two relate to one another instead of singing straight to the "audience." And how is Mr. Hofmann doing now? I'm sorry I don't speak German but I sense from the last post that he has become more incapacitated. I wish him well. He has given so much joy to so many people thru his music

It is a special live performance without an audience afaik. But why should they sing to the audience? It is not a concert but a theatre play.
