Daniel Barenboim conducts Tristan und Isolde in a bold new production from Russian director Dmitri Tcherniakov!

If there is one work that was crucial to Barenboim's conducting career, it has to be Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. From Bayreuth to Berlin to Milan and New York, the Argentinian conductor has been working for more than 35 years to unravel his secrets and to write a textbook on the subject. In the orchestra pit of the newly renovated State Opera and at the head of the Staatskapelle Berlin, he once again works magic.

Dmitri Tcherniakov, who is no stranger to having staged the work at the Mariinsky in 2005, addresses the psychological aspects of the drama and works to make the mythical lovers as approachable as possible. In doing so, he gives this work, probably the most fascinating of Wagner's works, a new realistic depth. Act III, which marks the tragic end of Tristan and Isolde's doomed love affair, captivates with its powerful simplicity, and the famous Liebestod, in which Isolde bids farewell to her dead lover, achieves an unparalleled level of emotionality and intensity. Thanks to his demanding acting direction, but also thanks to Gleb Filshtinsky's precise lighting work, Tcherniakov once again succeeds in creating intense images,

To complete this top-class artistic cast, the Staatsoper brought in some of the best Wagner experts: Andreas Schager, already a great Parsifal and a regular at the Bayreuth Festival, is Tristan, Anja Kampe is an unforgettable Isolde, and Ekaterina Gubanova delights as Brangäne.
