“SILENT WAGNER” (The complete 1913 RARE biographical film)
***TOO ALL WHO READ THIS…PLEASE READ MY PUBLIC DISCLAIMER/APOLOGY ON MY YOUTUBE PROFILE (“About Ronbeadle’s Channel”).***
“The Life and Works of Richard Wagner”, directed by Carl Fröhlich, was first released on November 20, 2024 and was the first ever ‘bio-pic’ in cinematic history. What is extraordinary, however, is that it predates “D.W.Griffiths” and “Birth of a Nation”, usually described as the first ‘long’ silent, at a time when most silents ran for 10 minutes at most.
Fröhlich’s film runs for over 80 minutes!
Made when Cosima Wagner was very much in the ascendance, and newly restored with English inter-titles, but preserving the original 1913 tinting, this film is a revelation about many aspects of Wagner’s life, early film making, as well as preserving the historical accuracy of the sets and costumes of the time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
N.B.
The film has NO audio whatsoever, and I have decided not to create a musical track for it. The disturbing cynical commentary on the dvd by Tony Palmer (who helped restore this film) I have also left out, to keep the purity and natural beauty of this film intact.
You can play some quiet Wagner (like Siegfried Idyll, or the preludes to Lohengrin or Parsifal) in the background if you’d like.
THANK YOU…AND ENJOY THIS RARITY AMONG FILMS!

“WAGNER - THE COMPLETE EPIC” (as seen on TV) by Tony Palmer w/RICHARD BURTON
***TOO ALL WHO READ THIS…PLEASE READ MY PUBLIC DISCLAIMER/APOLOGY ON MY YOUTUBE PROFILE (“About Ronbeadle’s Channel”).***
Filmed in 200 different locations in 6 different European countries as part of the centenary of Wagner’s death, this film was the biggest East-West production in the history of television. Notably for shooting the original places Richard Wagner visited, lived and worked. The film took 7 months to complete and was written by Charles Wood in conjunction with the Bayreuth estate and Wolfgang Wagner (Wagner’s grandson).
The film was filmed in widescreen and in 35mm Dolby Stereo.
The music was recorded by Sir Georg Solti especially for the film and features many notable actors, including:
Sir Richard Burton
Vanessa Redgrave
Sir Laurence Olivier
Sir John Gielgud
Sir Ralph Richardson
Ronald Pickup
Cyril Cusack
Sir William Walton
Despite the controversy on the length of this film, I can claim that my upload is the “complete” film as seen on TV in 1983 (taken from the four full original vhs tapes). The latest dvd version (there are now three different editions) is supposedly complete, but if you compare them, there is up to almost an hour of more footage in mine. I heard that Tony Palmer went back and edited out some footage, as well as recut some of the sequences for the last dvd release.
The film has many drawbacks nevertheless, Wagner’s philosophical/esoteric ideas are not exposed. His inspired way with mythology and legend is not covered at all either. His friendships and relations with many of the great men and artists etc at the time are not even taken in consideration…Not only that but Wagner’s compassionate, profound and humane nature is utterly glossed over…leaving the man completely political and spiteful, which is totally wrong.
In any case…part of the reason of why I decided to publish this on youtube was because:
1) To present it complete on youtube, and not in broken up segments and short clips.
2) It is ultra rare, and well-nigh impossible to find.
3) Not many people know about it, or even have heard of it.
4) To clear up the controversy on the length of the film (just read the reviews on amazon.)
PS: When you watch this, make sure you’re on wi-fi or have an unlimited internet data plan!

Famous Wagner Documentary: “In the Eye of the Ring”
***TOO ALL WHO READ THIS…PLEASE READ MY PUBLIC DISCLAIMER/APOLOGY ON MY YOUTUBE PROFILE (“About Ronbeadle’s Channel”).***
An amazing Introduction to the world of symbols in Richard Wagner’s “The Ring of the Nibelung”.
Also, the documentary breaks down and reveals all the Leitmotiv’s, characters, scenes, plots, metaphors, mythology, and names in Wagner’s Ring Cycle.
Illustrations mainly by Arthur Rackham and music conducted by Jeffrey Tate and The National Orchestra of France.
Actually…this is way more than an introduction!
ENJOY!!!
Richard Wagner Documentary 1874 Part 1
Wilhelm Richard Wagner ( /ˈvɑːɡnər/; German pronunciation: [ˈʁiçaʁt ˈvaːɡnɐ]; 22 May 2024 — 13 February 2024) was a German composer, conductor, theatre director and essayist, primarily known for his operas (or “music dramas”, as they were later called). Wagner’s compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex texture, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs: musical themes associated with individual characters, places, ideas or plot elements. Unlike most other opera composers, Wagner wrote both the music and libretto for every one of his stage works.

Tannhauser
Wagner TANNHÄUSER Wenkoff,Jones,Sotin,Weikl,Schunk,Pickering 1978 sub español
Tannhäuser
Richard Wagner (Leipzig 1813 - Venecia 1883) se basó para escribir el libreto de Tannhäuser en una leyenda medieval. Wagner, aunque luterano, refleja en su obra un ambiente católico al que trata con sumo respeto e incluso admiración. La penitencia y la expiación del pecado así como la redención a través del amor, son temas en los que vuelve a incidir en esta obra.
El ballet que sigue a la obertura, fue creado especialmente para la ópera de París (1861) y es conocido como La Bacanal del Venusberg (Monte de Venus). En la obra utiliza el leitmotiv pero aplicándolo con moderación y sus personajes aún cantan arias, dúos…
La ópera dividida en tres actos, fue estrenada en el Hofoper de Dresde el 19 de octubre en 1845. La dirección musical estuvo a cargo del propio Wagner, siendo sus intérpretes: el tenor Joseph Aloys Tichatscheck (Tannhäuser), Wihelmine Schröder-Devrient (Venus) y Johanna Wagner (Elisabeth), sobrina del maestro.

JESSYE NORMAN THE QUEEN IN WAGNER “DIE WALKÜRE” (MET) AS SIEGLIND JAMES LEVINE dir. LIVE
HILDEGARD BEHRENS AS BRÜNHILDE
REGIE: OTTO SCHENK
In October 1980 Norman returned to the operatic stage in the title role of Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos at the Hamburg State Opera in Germany. Norman made her United States opera début in 1982 with the Opera Company of Philadelphia, appearing in Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex as Jocasta and in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas as Dido. Norman followed these with her début at the Metropolitan Opera in 1983, appearing in Berlioz’s Les Troyens as both Cassandra and Dido, a production which marked the company’s 100th anniversary season. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, “By the mid-1980s she was one of the most popular and highly regarded dramatic soprano singers in the world.” She was invited to sing at the second inauguration of U.S. President Ronald Reagan on January 21, 1985, an invitation which she debated accepting, as an African American and a Democrat (as well as a nuclear disarmament activist). In the end, she did accept and sang the folk song “Simple Gifts”. In 1986, Norman sang at Elizabeth II’s sixtieth birthday celebration. That same year Norman appeared as a soloist in Strauss’s Four Last Songs with the Berlin Philharmonic during its tour of the USA. In 1987, Norman joined the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Herbert von Karajan in possibly the greatest rendition of the Liebestod from “Tristan und Isolde” by Wagner in a historical concert (filmed and recorded audio by Deutsche Grammophone) at the Salzburg Festival. The concert was then repeated some weeks later in Berlin, with Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic.
Over the years Norman has not been afraid to expand her talent into less familiar areas. In 1988 she sang a concert performance of Poulenc’s one-act opera La Voix Humaine (“The Human Voice”), based on Jean Cocteau’s 1930 play of the same name. During the 1980s and early 1990s, Norman produced numerous award-winning recordings, and many of her performances were televised. In addition to opera, many of Norman’s recordings and performances during this time focused upon art songs, lieder, oratorios, and orchestral works. Her interpretation of Strauss’s Four Last Songs is especially acclaimed. Its slowness is controversial, but the tonal qualities of her voice are ideal for these final works of the Romantic German lieder tradition.
Norman is also known for the Gurre-Lieder of Arnold Schoenberg and for Schoenberg’s one-woman opera Erwartung. In 1989 Norman appeared at the Metropolitan Opera for a performance of Erwartung that marked the company’s first single-character production. This opera was presented in a double bill with Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle with Norman playing the role of Judith. Both operas were broadcast nationally. That same year, Norman was the featured soloist with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in its opening concert of its 148th season, which was telecast live to the nation by PBS. Norman also performed at the Hong Kong Cultural Center opening and gave a recital at Taiwan’s National Concert Hall.
Also in 1989, Norman was invited to sing the French national anthem, La Marseillaise, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution on July 14. Her rendition was delivered at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, in a costume designed by Azzedine Alaïa as part of an elaborate pageant orchestrated by avant-garde designer Jean-Paul Goud. (Wikipedia) P.S.:In 1974 Jessye Norman appeared in Buenos Aires in a Concert under the direction of Simon Blech,managed by me.The same, two years, later with a big succes.The concerts were in the seasons of the SOCIEDAD DE CONCIERTOS DE BUENOS AIRES.

WAGNER Gotterdamerung: Immolation Scene
From the Metropolitan Opera, In a very creative production by Robert Lapage and Deby Voigt as Bunhilde. ¡Here is the final scene of the Ring Cycle!
After Siegfried’s death, Brunhilde took the Ring off his finger. She commands to make a pyre for the funeral of Siegfried. Accepting his fate and the one of the entire beings calls Wotan’s ravens asking them send the fire of Loge from her rock to the Valhalla to terminate with the age of Gods. Finally she decides to join her love in death, getting herself into the pyre. The fire spread burnign the castle.
From the ashes the Rhinemaidens took the Ring and returned it to the Rhine. Far, beyond the clouds, the Valhalla blazed, consuming all that once meant.
