Thanks to Chereau/Boulez Ring I began seeing Wagner Operas. First on Video and Dvds and later in Opera Houses. P. Chereau showed us Wagner staging to be human and theatrical. Pity He died so young.Thanks so much for uploading this great Documentary 🟥
Thanks for the documentary ! I love the Centennial Ring more than most other productions. Today it's hard to believe that this Ring stirred a storm of negative reactions 😊
Thank you for the upload! My grandparents were able to see this is Bayreuth back in the day, and they actually really liked the staging. It makes me wonder what all these critics would have thought about the "flying harmonica" staging of the MET's Walkurie from a few years ago. Remember that one? Ultra-minimalist. Also, Chereau's vision of the Ring Cycle meets Industrial Age corruption reminds me a LOT of similar themes in another Ring story: Tolkien of course had parallels of modern (over?)industrialization with the corruption of Isengard. So staging the Cycle in this way is not completely out of the realm of possibility. It seems rather like the best kind of art: uniquely creative but still rationally tied to the original material.
Saw the Chereau Ring live at Bayreuth 1978-1980 and remains the greatest production of the Ring I I have ever seen and that takes in many Rings. Now on a beautiful Blu-Ray
I didn’t care much for Manfred Jung as Siegfried and maybe they could have used Ortrun Wenkel could have just done Waltraute. I really liked the rest of the cast.
I just realized that todax it's 10 years ago that Chereau died. He was so young and brave when he staged the so-called "Jahrhundert-Ring". It wasn't a traditional production, but he managed to tell Wagner's stories in a very moving and human way! I wonder if back then many people understood his little joke concerning Loge: the brilliant Heinz Zednik looked and moved like Riff Raff from the Rocky Horror Picture Show 😉 That was quite deliberate, but back then most Wagner fans hadn't seen the movie. It's wonderful that this wonderful Ring is available today for everybody - especially since there weren't many great Ring productions afterwards.

Boulez was a horrible conductor. If you want to change the music of the composer, you are overstepping your job as someone who has the one and only task to lead the orchestra playing as exactly as possible what the composer wrote. His Wagner cycle was an affront to Wagner!

It's such a shame they didn't have better singers in this fantastic production.

It can be read in a billboard “Rauchen Verboten” (no smoking allowed) in 28:40 Patrice Is smoking 😂

Poor Bayreuth, it doesn't deserve to be in this state under Katharina. The decadent fourth grade of trash culture
WEum um Himmels Willen hat man für dieses Jahrhundertereigniss eine 3klassige Besetzung gewählt?
Meanwhile the stuff the temple of the holy German art is doing nowadays…
