Metropolitan Opera at Home - Wagner's Siegfried. October 9, 2020.

Original Performance Date: April 26, 1990.

Conductor - James Levine.  Siegfried - Siegfried Jerusalem, Mime - ?, Wotan (the Wanderer) - James Morris, Alberich -  Ekkehard Wlaschiha, Fafner - ?, The Woodbird - ?, Erda - ?, Brunnhilde - Hildegard Behrens.

I was a bit busy on October 9 and 10, and thus watched only Acts 1 and 2 of this opera, missing Act 3 where Siegfried awakens Brunnhilde.  Also, I didn't get to view the credits at the end of the broadcast, so the list of artists listed in this entry is not complete, and may be in error.  However, I am sure Siegfried Jerusalem sang the title role.  He was Loge in Das Rheingold.  Both recordings are from April, 1990, so evidently he sang both roles in the same Ring cycle.  I wrote this after seeing Gotterdammerung, and found out Christa Ludwig sang the roles of Fricka (in Das Rheingold) and Waltraute (Gotterdammerung, but not Die Walkure).

In any case, below are some screen shots I took from the performance.
