Musical drama in three acts (1865)
Libretto by Richard Wagner
Arranged for chamber orchestra by Hartmut Keil

New production of the Theater an der Wien in the chamber opera
A man, a woman, interwoven by a deep love of mysterious origin. In their existence they feel nothing as true except this love. But it is nothing tangible, nothing that can find satisfaction under the rules of reality, on the contrary: Both lovers are bound to others. But her feeling is so powerful that it forces another dimension and develops a parallel world in which her fate spreads in tragic fulfillment. What is real life now? “Is our material world just a shell, a deception or even an experiment that follows a matrix-like test arrangement?” Asks director Günther Groissböck in his theatrical attempt to put the two lovers' feelings for one another to the test. What remains forever is the fantasized alternative to a bourgeois existence that denies love. The lovers are reflected in a couple from a distant past: When Tristan brought the Irish king's daughter Isolde across the sea for Cornwall's King Marke, Tristan and Isolde had long since been implicitly lovers. Tristan had killed Morold's fiancé in battle. But Isolde had poisoned Morold's sword, which he used to injure Tristan. As "Tantris" Tristan then went to Isolde, who took care of the stranger. But she soon recognized him as her fiancé's murderer and wanted to kill him. However, when she looked him in the eye, she began to love him ...
