Simply fantastic to see all those heroes of Neubayreuth sing and act. Wieland and Böhm are so intense!

I wished there'd be more Neidlinger-stuff around here on UA-cam...

Thank you so much for posting this spine-tingling clip of the true "greats" in rehearsal. This is how it should be done - Directors of today, please note!

I am happy to know there are 22000+ hard core Wagnerites who were excited to watch this

Wieland Wagner had a great sense of humour, as we know. And used to explain complicated themes through irreverent comparisons, keeping all his singers in a good mood (It is mentioned many times in many memoirs). Here he repeats the name of Kaiser Franz Joseph: Ich meine nicht Kaiser Franz Joseph!---Evidently, in this case, he doesn' t want ponderousness and pomposity, or smth like this..

That's Nikolaus Lehnhoff sitting on the right of Wagner @ 3:44 . Lehnhoff directed the Ring in San Francisco and Münich in the 80's. I wonder who the young man sitting to the right of Lehnhoff is..?

[@Tenorgeiger]

I think that’s August Everding’s voice in the commentary.
