Tannhauser Tickets

Tannhauser Opera Tickets

See the legendary opera with Tannhauser tickets. Famed composer Richard Wagner wrote Tannhauser in 1845. He based the piece on German mythology and represents an extended meditation on the themes of love, redemption and the sacred versus the profane. It is one of the most widely performed operas of all time.

Wagner composed Tannhauser in an attempt to unify the mythological elements of Romantic operas with the medieval setting of French Grand Operas. The result was an epic piece focused on the evolution of the historical bard Tannhauser as he interacts with the mythical god of love, Venus. The opera is a quintessential example of the era’s overriding concern with the relationship between artistic expression and organized religion.

Wagner wrote Tannhauser while on vacation in the Czech Republic, where he famously became so consumed with his work that he became seriously ill. The opera is widely regarded as one of Wagner’s masterpieces, uniquely combining French harp instrumentation with German waldhorns. Tannhauser premiered in Dresden in 1845 before moving to Paris in 1861. The work has been widely discussed in literary circles for its deep understanding of human psychology, years ahead of its time. With Tannhauser tickets, you too can experience this pioneering opera live on stage.
