Most likely the sets and costumes. That's usually the reason when you hear booing at Bayreuth. And it keeps getting worse and worse, because the designers are all very keen to do something different and surprising. And this was 1985, just nine years after Chéreau's weird, quasi-Marxist, industrial-revolution sets with the Rheinmaidens dressed (and behaving) like prostitutes, and instead of Siegfried forging his sword, he builds an automated metal sword-pounder, and all the rest of it. Jeering and booing the sets at Bayreuth had become a German national sport.
A lot of booing at the end. I wonder why?
