Grosse romantische Oper by Richard Wagner. World premiere in Dresden Hoftheater on October 19, 1845. Premiere at the Estonian National Opera on March 14, 2013.

“Tannhäuser”, belongs to the composer’s more romantic stage in his creative career together with “Der fliegende Holländer” and “Lohengrin”. Telling the story of man’s struggle towards his dreams and the danger of losing touch with the reality, “Tannhäuser” unites the historical with the mythological, creating a world of magic realism common to Wagner’s operas.
