A story of love stronger than death

The romance of Tristan and Iseult is a classic love story originating from mediaeval legends. It is a fairy tale that is larger than life and has inspired many poets, writers, artists, film and theatre creators. The story full of love, betrayal, and intense feelings is one of the best known and grandest works of Richard Wagner.
The tragic love story of Tristan and Isolde has captivated audiences since the 12th century. The legend is well known throughout Europe and its various versions have influenced art, literature and music, even television.

Inspired by Arthur Schopenhauer’s pessimistic philosophy and overwhelmed by his love for Mathilde von Wesendonck, the wife of his patron in Zurich, Richard Wagner wrote his music drama Tristan und Isolde. It was completed in 1859 and premiered six years later in Munich.
Tristan und Isolde has been called the pinnacle of romanticism in German music because of its chromatic, unstable harmony and ‘endless melody’.
