The shooting took place in spring 2013 in Germany ( Munich and the surrounding area) and Austria ( Leopoldskron , Gmunden , Salzburg ). The most important location was the listed Villa Lanna in Gmunden, which served as a replacement for the unavailable Villa Wahnfried in Bayreuth.
reception
“Only about Wagner as the spiritual patron of all Germans is this fatally sacred aura that made his family so attractive even after decades for everyone who cared about this aura. It is this aspect that makes this great film great cinema, almost great opera. "
“What makes this really hard-working Wagner soap opera particularly worth seeing is the radiant Petra Schmidt-Schaller as the lively and then combative Isolde and Lars Eidinger as Siegfried. Eidinger is able to portray the facets of the Wagner son, from his homosexuality to motherhood, to giving in to family reasons with subsequent marriage, in an extremely smooth and flexible manner. [...] The conducting, however, is laughable. "
