Wieland Wagner probt den Ring 1965 - Das Rheingold 

great to see windgassen and neidlinger acting!!!

Thank you for posting this! I have been looking for a video of Windgassen singing Loge for ever!

Simply fantastic to see all those heroes of Neubayreuth sing and act. Wieland and Böhm are so intense!

Thank you so much for posting this spine-tingling clip of the true "greats" in rehearsal. This is how it should be done - Directors of today, please note!

Thanks for uploading this rare document 👍

Um ano depois o cara morria….incrível vê-lo aqui tão cheio de vida

I am happy to know there are 22000+ hard core Wagnerites who were excited to watch this

Wieland Wagner had a great sense of humour, as we know. And used to explain complicated themes through irreverent comparisons, keeping all his singers in a good mood (It is mentioned many times in many memoirs). Here he repeats the name of Kaiser Franz Joseph: Ich meine nicht Kaiser Franz Joseph!---Evidently, in this case, he doesn' t want ponderousness and pomposity, or smth like this..

That's Nikolaus Lehnhoff sitting on the right of Wagner @ 3:44 . Lehnhoff directed the Ring in San Francisco and Münich in the 80's. I wonder who the young man sitting to the right of Lehnhoff is..?

What a treasure!

I think that’s August Everding’s voice in the commentary.
