Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (2018)

Directed by Peter Sellars, Bill Viola

“Richard Wagner's opera live at the Opéra Bastille, Paris on September 11th, 2018”

Drama · 4h 20m

Motivated by the love that bound him to Mathilda Wesendonck, Richard Wagner’s composition of Tristan und Isolde goes far beyond any simple operatic gesture. Peter Sellars’ production pours oil onto this troubled sea of emotions in an almost dematerialised setting bared of all earthly contingencies whilst Bill Viola presents the lovers’ initiatory quest for nirvana in videos detached from the stage, suspended like altarpieces.
