Wagner: Lohengrin Domingo, Rysanek, Ligendza, Becht, Schneider Vienna 4 January 1985

Act 2: 01.03.20 Act 3: 02.20.57 Interviews: 03.25.52 Staatsoper live broadcast on 4 January 1985, marking Domingo’s first Vienna Lohengrin and Rysanek’s first Vienna Ortrud, a role she sang there on only one further occasion, on 3 September 1985. She may not have been happy with her performance as I recall she took no solo curtain calls. She might well have been unhappy with the incredibly imappropriate lilac costume for the Act 2 confrontation with Elsa, since she violently ripped off the headdress at the first opportunity and threw it on the ground! There’s a picture of the costume on the video, displayed during the confrontation. Following the performance is a German interview with Leonie on the role of Ortrud, then a few words, from Egon Seefehlner, I think, then Director of the Staatsoper. This was originally broadcast during the first interval. As you can hear, a small section of the Stehplatz booed Domingo at the end of the performance. They were promptly ushered out by armed police. A Vienna-based friend suggested that they were booing him simply for not being James King!
