They’re practically two parts of the same soul, but their fairytale is about to be ripped to shreds. Wagner’s ‘Tristan und Isolde’ premieres at La Monnaie on...

Tackling Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde is a test for any opera director. In order to transpose the flood of monologues and dialogues of this timeless work into lasting images, La Monnaie called on two ambitious visual artists. On the one hand, the director and filmmaker Ralf Pleger who knows the German composer well, of whom he produced a portrait entitled Wagnerwahn (Public Award of the World Film Festival 2013 in Montreal). On the other hand, the sculptor and decorator Alexander Polzin, who is on familiar ground at La Monnaie since he created the sets for our latest production of Aida (Verdi) in 2017. In this video portrait, the two artists explain their approach.

Ralf Pleger & Alexander Polzin | Tristan and Isolde

‘As I have never truly experienced the happiness of love in my life,’ Richard Wagner wrote to Franz Liszt in December 1854, ‘I would like to erect a monument to this most beautiful of all dreams, a work in which this love can be expressed to the full.’ At the time, he was writing the first outlines of Tristan und Isolde. Wagner conceived his opera as an extended dialogue between two lovers, Tristan of Cornwall and Isolde, an Irish princess who had been married off to King Marke. Tristan und Isolde is Wagner’s hymn to love and death, and in his harmonies, melodies, and aesthetics he resolutely explored new directions. Ralf Pleger, a prize-winning director of innovative musical films, is aiming for an immersion in the Wagnerian combination of words and music in partnership with the visual artist Alexander Polzin. Their approach allows Alain Altinoglu every opportunity to let the cosmic dimension of the score ring out clearly.
