Can we talk about how Siegfried, who is a profoundly emotional being, became a beacon of steadfastness, a quiet presence ready to serve, keeping vigilent, swallowing his own fear so he could be there for her?
How he knew too much about war to offer hollow niceties and false hopes that would strike her down if proven untrue but braced himself to become the unfaltering force that would keep her upright if it came to it?
How he was grateful to Tristan for being the counterpoint to that and staying optimistic because he also knew it was what she needed?
How he crumbled with her when the coast was clear, therefore revealing how much he was affected all along because his own sense of self has long merged with her and if she falls he will hold her up but will be doing so on his knees because her pain is his pain?
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT?
Undoubtedly the best performance came from Anton Walbrook. Emeric had written the part of Lermontov, the autocratic impresario, with him in mind. He had a repressed, pent-up energy about him that was perfect for the part. Emeric thought that Lermontov was one of the best characters he ever created, but he was too readily accused of basing him on the tyrannical impresario par excellence, Sergei Diaghilev. Emeric denied the charge: ‘There is something of Diaghilev, something of Alex Korda, something of Michael and quite a bit of me’.

A haunted look crosses his face. A memory impacting, sickeningly. He’s thinking about Clara’s death.
