Tim Ashley 🏳️🌈Wagner's Tannhäuser was first performed in Dresden #OTD in 1845.
This is Erich Leinsdorf's great broadcast from the Met in December 1939, my favourite performance of what is ultimately my favourite of Wagner's works. The cast includes Eyvind Laholm, Kirsten Flagstad, Rose Pauly, Herbert Janssen and EmmanuelList.
