Wagners enestående kærlighedsopera med et stjernebesat sangerhold

Tristan skal ledsage Isolde til hans onkel kong Marke, som hun er lovet bort til. Isolde og Tristan har en fælles fortid, og Isolde ønsker hævn over Tristan. Men en kærlighedstrylledrik forandrer alt ...

Wagner baserede sin intense kærlighedshistorie på en middelalderlegende, der understøttes af komponistens uendelige melodier og ledemotiver. Dramaet ligger i høj grad i musikken; den følelsesmæssige rejse fra orkestrets første uforløste akkorder, der trækker os ind i de mørke, længselsfulde understrømme til sidste akt med Isoldes ekstatiske Liebestod er uden sidestykke i operalitteraturen. 

Tristan og Isolde er den ultimative hyldest til grænseløs kærlighed, og operaen har en indre vildskab, som Wagner beskrev som fortærende flammer under kompositionsprocessen. Ilden bredte sig og revolutionerede både musikhistorien og publikum.

Svenske Elisabeth Strid debuterer i rollen som Isolde, nok det eneste store Wagner-parti, hun endnu ikke har brilleret i. Tristan synges af den verdensberømte, newzealandske heltetenor Simon O’Neill, og den internationalt efterspurgte, danske bas, Stephen Milling, er tilbage som Kong Marke alternerende med Den Kongelige Operas Kyungil Ko i rollen. Den Kongelige Operas Hanne Fischer, der sang en forrygende Brangäne i koncertversionen af Tristan og Isolde i sæson 2019/2020, kan nu opleves i rollen på scenen.  

Den prisvindende svenske teater- og operainstruktør Sofia Jupither iscenesætter i enkle scenografiske rammer, og forestillingen ledes af Det Kongelige Kapels 1. gæstedirigent Paolo Carignani.

Tristan og Isolde synges på tysk med danske overtekster.

Wagner’s unique opera of tragic love with a star-studded cast
Tristan accompanies Isolde to his uncle, King Marke, to whom she is betrothed. Isolde and Tristan have a shared past, and Isolde seeks revenge over Tristan. But a love potion changes everything ... 

Wagner based his intense love story on a medieval legend, supported by the composer’s endless arsenal of musical leitmotifs. The drama largely lies within the music. The emotional journey is unparalleled in operatic literature, from the orchestra’s first unresolved chords, which draw us into dark and impassioned undercurrents, to the final act with Isolde’s ecstatic Liebestod.

Tristan und Isolde is the ultimate tribute to boundless love, and the opera is fuelled by an inner rage that Wagner, while composing, described as consuming flames. His fire spread and revolutionised both music history and the audience.

Swedish soprano Elisabeth Strid makes her debut in the role of Isolde, arguably the only major Wagner role in which she has not already excelled. Tristan is played by the world-famous New Zealand heroic tenor Simon O’Neill, and internationally acclaimed Danish bass Stephen Milling returns in the role as King Marke, alternating with Kyungil Ko from the Royal Danish Opera. The Royal Danish Opera’s Hanne Fischer, who garnered acclaim for her performance as Brangäne in the concert version of Tristan und Isolde in the 2019/2020 season, will now embody the same role on the opera stage.

Staging the opera is award-winning Swedish theatre and opera director Sofia Jupiter, who draws on a set design of great simplicity and clarity. The Royal Danish Orchestra is conducted by Chief Guest Conductor Paolo Carignani. 

Tristan und Isolde is performed in German with Danish supertitles.
