Tristan and Isolde - schedule, program & buy tickets

Plot in three acts
Text Richard Wagner
Language German

Isolde loves Tristan, and Tristan loves Isolde. A love with no alternative, no chance, for Isolde is to marry King Marke in order to seal the peace between Ireland and Kareol.

Tristan accompanies her, who is wavering between contempt and despair, to Kareol. "Chosen to me, lost to me", sings Isolde about Tristan, and continues: "Death-consecrated head! Doomed heart!" Only in death does their love seem possible. Isolde's confidante Brangäne, however, administers a love potion instead of the required death potion, and the fate of the two "night consecrated ones" takes its course.
