Ever since her acclaimed début in the role of Kundry at Bayreuth in 1984 at the very latest, Waltraud Meier has been one of the top-flight Wagner performers of our time, and setting standards in the meantime in the Italian and French repertoire, too. Not only does this film document present her in a wide variety of roles but we also experience her in conversation backstage, a fascinating personality who enjoys her professional life and takes an active part in planning it. This portrait of outstanding singer is then rounded off by an enthralling live recording of Mahler's Lied von der Erde from the Cologne Philharmonie directed by Semyon Bychkow.

I just love her honesty. This is exactly what I needed to hear as an emerging dramatic soprano. Thank you Waltraud

Thanks for this upload!

[@naturalydecadent]

great documentary thx

[@raphaelaelin6299]

Geil, wie sie in den Proben die Bruststimme benutzt :) Als sie die Klytemästra gesungen hat, hätte sie das tun sollen. Als Klytemnästra war ihre Stimme zu hell und hoch, die Rolle für sie zu tief, weil sie nicht in die Bruststimme gegangen ist ... Sie könnte sowohl Sopranrollen als auch Altrollen singen wenn sie alle Register ziehen würde. Schade dass sie das nicht tut. Sie ist so fantastisch :)

[@lifeloveandliteraturejoyeu7967]

The golden streaks in her hair really add to that glorious liebestod. The total effect. For some reason reminds me of Aeschylus's plays. Aeschylus was the major influence upon wagner, far more than Schopenhaur. Both Aeschylus and wagner have a tremendous amount in common. In various writings, Fischer-Dieskau talks about this.

[@Wayne_63]

It's Waltraud, not 'Waltraut'.

[@Euroarts]

Thank you for telling us. It has been corrected.

Who's playing Telramund?

[@operaanimelover369]

Tom Fox. An American baritone who established himself mostly in European opera houses. He was not only well-known as Telramund but also as Scarpia, Alberich, Klingsor, Escamillo, Don Pizarro, Jochanaan, and Orest.

[@Bumblebeebeebee]

Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, dass man mit so einer Stimme eine solche Karriere machen kann.

[@gillan5]

Wenn jemand in dem knallharten Geschäft der Klassik auf die weltgrößten Bühnen der Welt mit den besten Dirigenten der Welt gerufen wird, und Sie das nicht verstehen, dann sollten Sie sich mal fragen, woran das vielleicht liegen kann. Vielleicht mögen Sie ja ihre Stimme nicht, manche mögen Ronaldo nicht erkennen aber an, dass er ein Weltstar ist, vielleicht sollten Sie mal darüber nachdenken.

[@Bumblebeebeebee]

@@gillan5 Ich möchte tatsächlich nicht über den verwunderlichen Werdegang einer höchst mittelmäßigen Sängerin (und grauslig melodramatischen Darstellerin) nachdenken, aber vielen Dank für Ihre ach so wertvollen Hinweise. Ich werde diese in meinem Herzen und auch in meinem Poesiealbum bewahren.

[@bodiloto]

inascoltabile . vocalità poco professionale . mezzo-soprano - no . soprano - si . il vecchio

[@castanhatropicana]

For an Italian, just other Italian is a musician. So typical!

[@bodiloto]

@@castanhatropicana Non sono italiano. Cosa c’entra la nazionalità della persona?! Ma non senti che questa è una voce orrenda, poco professionale?! L’ignoranza umana è senza limiti … A chi può piacere questa vocalità stridula , priva di una buona tecnica ?! Solo ai dilettanti del tuo genere . Lascia gli italiani a pace ! il vecchio PS La vocalità di questa bella donna e la musica di Wagner insieme sembrano alla mistura ottenuta tra l’olio e l’acqua…
