And while the Greek National Opera is under occupation by some guys who think that the horrible theatre Olympia (that has been hosting the Greek National Opera for decades) is a symbol of plutocracy -like if it were the Palais Garnier or the Wiener Staatsoper- at the Athens Megaron that hosts the GNO's performances of Graham Vick's Tannhäuser, the audience last night had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to enjoy Wagner's long-lost opera
"Tann & Venus, grilled".
=========
During Act I, and while the magic fire circle was lit,
(oh! wait, this is from another opera!),
some branches caught fire, the stage technicians started shouting for the curtain to fall, and John Treleaven, as a real Knight, saved his Venus (Lise Lindstrom) from the flames.
After 30 minutes, the curtain rose again and no fire effects were used throughout the performance - according to my sources no fire will be used for the last performance tomorrow as well.

A eso se le llama jugar con fuego, y en un teatro de ópera...yo no dejaría encender ni una cerilla.
I saw Tanhausser two years ago in Bilbao
No fireworks involved but a magnificent Denoke played Venus and Elizabeth
Ειδα τον Τανχωυζερ στην πρεμιερα και προχθες την παρασκευη οταν επιασε φωτια.Ειναι καλη παραγωγη και δεν το αμφισβητει κανενας αυτο.Μουσικα με ενοχλησαν μερικα πραγματα κυριως απο την χορωδια,η οποια παρολα ταυτα νομιζω εκλεψε την παρασταση σε αρκετα σημεια.Θα μπορουσε σιγουρα ομως να ειναι πιο σωστη και τονικα και στον χρονο.Ο ηχος της ορχηστρας της ΕΛΣ ηταν τελειως διαφορετικος απ'ο,τι εχουμε συνηθισει.Ολα τα ασχημα βεβαια οφειλονται στη ελληνικη νοοτροπια του δημοσιου υπαλληλου.Νομιζω δινω 4/5 (οταν το μπαιροϊτ ειναι στο 6 βεβαια).
Αν το Μπαϋρώυτ ειναι στο 6 και η Λυρική στο 4, τότε μιλάμε για άθλο...
Αν ξέρατε τί τράβηξε ο Auguin για να κάνει την ορχήστρα να ακούγεται έτσι...
Θα σας πω μόνο οτι μερικά 24ωρα πριν την πρεμιέρα τους εξευτέλισε λεκτικά κ τους έβαλε να παίξουν ένας ένας. Κ βεβαίως γιαυτό κ η τζενεράλε έγινε κλειστή...
