Tristan und Isolde - Metropolitan Opera

2016 · 259 min

A slow, overwhelming plunge into doomed passion, staged with stark modern imagery and sung with shattering intensity.

Tagline
Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde Live at The Metropolitan Opera, New York on October 8th, 2016
Overview
Met audiences were fascinated by Mariusz Treliński’s gripping, visionary production of Wagner’s epic opera. In the daunting title roles of the doomed lovers, Nina Stemme and Stuart Skelton are passionate, overwhelming, and heartbreaking as they battle every obstacle that separates them from their true destiny. René Pape is King Marke, betrayed not only by Isolde but by Tristan, the man he most trusts and loves like a son. With Ekaterina Gubanova as Isolde’s confidante Brangäne and Evgeny Nikitin as Kurwenal, Tristan’s loyal lieutenant. Simon Rattle conducts a surging, shimmering account of Wagner’s monumental score.
