@adamastorBassBar INDEED!!! Good spotting!
-
At the end, just as Bernd Weikl crowns the statue, is that Wolfgang Wagner on stage at the back?
-
That Weikl sure has a virile, manly stage presence--and great voice/actor, of course.
-
A traditional staging at Bayreuth--how refreshing for a change!--after all that Euro trash stuff. Apparently the modernist ape directors haven't figured out a way to take the 'folk' out of this divine comedy without dismantling the earthy plot. No 'angst' , no black leather flack jackets, no factory pipes---there are still some miracles left in the world.

Weikl is a GREAT Wagnerian singer BUT I think the 2005 Met Meistersinger with James Levine conducting James Morris as Hans Sacks, Ben Heppner as Walther, Karita Mattila as Eva and Thomas Allen as Beckmesser is a "mehr besser" production and DVD.
ALL good, though. thanks for posting, ximowb
