About Tristan and Isolde Opera by WNO


Well known to Washington audiences and Wagner aficionados, soprano IrĂ©ne Theorin brings her compelling portrayal of Isolde to a stunning production that celebrates the bicentenary of Wagner's birth with direction by Neil Armfield, who will also direct Opera Australia's first production of Wagner's Ring cycle later this fall. Conducted by WNO Music Director Philippe Auguin, and featuring an impressive international cast, Wagner's retelling of the beloved Celtic myth and its star-crossed lovers continues to enchant audiences across the globe.
Performed in German with projected English titles.
