DIE WALKÜRE:Wagner
Original Air Date: 03/07/1987
Levine; Behrens, McIntyre, Altmeyer, Hofmann, Fassbaender, Haugland
MET On Record SID.19230209
This is Levine’s first broadcast of Walkure and the opening production in the Schenk/Schneider-Siemssen Ring. The opening night of the production in the fall had Simon Estes as Wotan. I had seen Hofmann in the Chereau Ring nine years earlier at Bayreuth, and his voice was already showing wear and tear to the extent he never made it to Siegfried or beyond the Ring, Tristan for which he was scheduled. This broadcast is his antepenultimate Met appearance which totals twenty-nine performances and concludes a year later with another Walkure notable more for being Rysanek’s final Met Sieglinde and Waltraud Meier’s only broadcast Walkure Fricka. McIntyre was also in the Chereau Ring and was in much better condition and whose Met career goes on for another nine years beyond this broadcast.

Levine; Millo, Domingo, Toczyska, Milnes, Plishka

SID.19480210
This is Domingo’s second of 3 Radames broadcasts (the last is a simulcast video the following season with Zajick instead of Toczyska). Millo is on excellent form, and Tocyzska is an arresting performer who is a very solid Amneris.
