Tristan und Isolde

The Irish princess Isolde is promised to King Marke of Cornwall. Together with her handmaiden Brangäne, she is escorted across the sea by the knight Tristan. Isolde’s lethal poison meant for Tristan is replaced with a love potion, and their passion leads them along a path to tragedy.

We present a revival of our acclaimed production of Wagner’s groundbreaking Tristan und Isolde, directed by Carmen Jakobi with the Longborough Festival Orchestra conducted by Longborough’s veteran Wagnerian Music Director, Anthony Negus.

One of the most exalting operatic experiences I have had

It’s hard to imagine this opera making a more shattering impact

In a tremendous, all-consuming staging the electricity between the lovers was palpable and there were many orchestral glories
