Deftones - Moana

But before the implementation of this plan was still a long way off. Wagner had a “duty” to the “Tannhauser”. Returning from Bohemia, he devoted all his efforts to staging his drama on stage. It took the end of summer and almost all of autumn. The premiere took place on October 19, 1845. It was not a failure - the audience warmly accepted Wagner's new composition - but the composer himself felt unsatisfied. Perhaps in many respects this was influenced by the weak play of the actors who performed the main parts - the trouble that plagued Wagner in the productions of many of his works and prompted him to the idea of ​​educating Wagner singers, which became one of the main points of opera reform. Nevertheless, by the second submission, the author made minor changes to the score. But he did not stop there, but returned to the “Tannhäuser” again and again, and in 1860 he made the second,his so-called Paris edition, which we will talk about.
