Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde (1859) is arguably the most influential work not just in the history of opera but classical music. Often described as the start of modern music, it reinvented the rules of harmony, becoming a touchstone and centre of musical gravity, either drawing composers towards it in helpless imitation, or forcing them to fight to reject it. No one could be neutral in response to it.

Bound in marriage against her will, princess Isolde resolves to end her life along with that of her enemy, the knight Tristan. But when a love potion is substituted for poison, the two are drawn into an all-consuming, obsessive love affair that destroys everything – and everyone – in its unstoppable path.

For the first time here harmony and psychology are one. The whole score is a metaphor for unfulfilled desire, unfolding in a single continuous musical gesture, a ‘terrible and sweet infinity’ as Nietzsche described it. Harmonic tension established in the famous ‘Tristan Chord’ in the opera’s opening bars is never fully resolved until the end – a deferral of gratification that gives the opera its charged, uneasy sense of momentum, of desire always yearning (but never quite attaining) fulfilment.
