TANNHAUSER (Tahr! hoy-zer)
Words and music by Richard Wagner. First presented Dresden, 1845; Paris, 1861 London, 1876; New York, 1859.
Tannhdauser, with its poetry, and romance; its characters, who are real human beings and not mythological gods, goddesses and heroes, appeals strongly to the average opera-goer. The story tells of conflict between two kinds of love: pure love as distinguished from mere
sensuous passion; and relates how the higher love triumphed in the end.
Tannhauser, a knight and minstrel, in an evil moment, succumbs to the wiles of Venus and dwells for a year in the Venusberg. Tiring of these monotonous delights, he leaves the goddess and returns to his home, where he is warmly received and told that the fair Elizabeth, niece of the Landgrave, still mourns for him. Heis urged to compete in the Tournament of Song not far distant, the prize being the hand of Elizabeth. The theme of the contest is The Nature of Love, and when Tannhauser’s turn arrives the evil influence of the Venusberg is apparent when he delivers a wild and profane eulogy of passion. Outraged by this insult, the minstrels draw their swords to slay him, but Tannhauser is protected by Elizabeth, who pleads for his life. Coming to his senses, too late, he repents, and when a com
pany of Pilgrims pass on their way to Rome, he joins them to seek pardon for his sin. In ‘@ the last act we see Elizabeth, weary and worn, supported by the noble Wolfram, who also
. loves her, watching for the Pilgrims to return, but Tannhduser is not among them. FElizabet
is overcome with disappointment and ma feebly returns to her home. . Tannhauser now appears, in a
. wretched plight, on his way to re-enter the Hill of Venus. He tells Wolfram that he appealed to the Pope for pardon, but was told that his redemption was as impossible as that the Pope’s staff should put forth leaves. Wolfram’s remonstrances are in vain, and Tannhduser is about to invoke the goddess, when a chant is heard and the Pilgrims appear, announcing that the Pope’s staff had blossomed as a sign that the sinner was forgiven. Tannhduser kneels in prayer as the mourners pass SETTING OF ACT Ill AT THE METROPOLITAN
