Remarks
Broadcast (BBC, 5 February 1960)
Sung in English (translation by Ernest Newman)
A production by Anthony Besch
William Aitken replaces Ronald Dowd as Tannhäuser.
The original Dresden version was used for the Venusberg scene in the first act, so the use of ballet was reduced (Sadler’s Wells not having at its disposal a full ballet company). The revised Paris text was used for the rest of the performance.
