Tristan und Isolde is one of the most significant works in western art. After it, music could never be the same again. It is a hymn to a love that transcends death, set to some of the most sheerly sensuous music ever composed – and the frank eroticism of the score still has the power to shock. So extreme is the work that Wagner himself called it frightful and feared it would drive people mad, or be banned.
This is the latest in Opera North’s sequence of award-winning concert stagings. It is directed by Peter Mumford, who was responsible for the Company’s legendary Ring cycle. Conducted by Principal Guest Conductor Antony Hermus, it promises to be one of the operatic events of 2027.
This production will be one of the first events in Leeds Town Hall’s reopening season following its refurbishment. Details will be announced later in the year.
