I believe this is Valentin Schwarz and the ensemble responsible for the current "Götterdämmerung" production stepping out for their bows.

This year's Bayreuth Ring seemed to impress few - and anger many traditionalists.

AFAIK, Bayreuth hasn't done a traditional anything since WWII.

The traditionalists buying tickets must be hoping to be offended. :D

Could someone explain what they were mad about without me having to watch the 2 hour video?

I wouldn't boo but I'd have been disappointed if i had waited years for my Bayreuth tickets and then got some thing that seems to have been intentionally ugly and lacking in stagecraft.
