Richard Wagner

Tristan und Isolde

12 Jan, 14 - 08 Feb, 14

Musical conductor: Marc Piollet

Stage Director: Peter Sellars

Richard Wagner interprets this story from a very different perspective to L'elisir d'amore. His telling of the story has become a cornerstone of musical innovation, and one that revolutionised Europe's musical history. This heartbreaking tale of passion has rarely found such a fitting parallel between music and theatre. It is a difficult challenge: to capture the depths and ecstasy of the soul captured by the all-encompassing fire and deadly chill of eternal love. Just like the primitive work of Flemish artists (a good example is The Descent from the Cross by Roger Van der Weyden, currently shown at the Prado) Bill Viola - who is currently preparing a medieval triptych using current methods for St. Pauls cathedral in London- he has managed it. This unique production of Tristan und Isolde in the Teatro Real has become a cult favourite, conquering the world.
