Listening to Wagner’s TANNHÄUSER made me think it had to be in a movie, some movie, because I had never experienced any of Wagner's operas. That's where my quest began. I found "Meeting Venus," with Glenn Close, only on VHS, but was desperate to see the movie and hear the beautiful music. This VHS was not your bargain basement "find" and was also hard to locate. I have now viewed the first half of the tape several times and am emotionally entranced by the music and especially the actor, Niels Arstrup, who exudes passion. You can listen to Tannhauser on YouTube.com and watch Karajan close up with that same passion.
I saw the movie on TV,tapedit,tape deteriorated. I love Irony, romance, and Classicalmusic, humor in the European mode. production values marvelous. Glenn Close a great actress, shone brightly as an aging Diva. Most of the cast was European,{Immortal Beloved} is the only movie, That was close to this production And perhaps {Amadeus}
