Chorus: New Philharmonia Chorus Stage Director: Nikolaus Lehnhoff Stage Designer: Heinz Mack Tristan und Isolde (Tristan and Isolde), WWV 90, is an opera in three acts by Richard Wagner to a German libretto by the composer, based largely on the 12th-century romance Tristan and Iseult by Gottfried von Strassburg. It was composed between 1857 and 1859 and premiered at the Königliches Hoftheater und Nationaltheater in Munich on 10 June 1865 with Hans von Bülow conducting. Wagner referred to the work not as an opera, but called it “eine Handlung“ (literally a drama, a plot, or an action). The score of Tristan und Isolde has often been cited as a landmark in the development of Western the opera, Wagner uses a remarkable range of orchestral colour, harmony, and polyphony, doing so with a freedom rarely found in his earlier operas. The first chord in the piece, the “Tristan Chord“, is of great significance in the move away from traditional tonal harmony as it resolves to another dissonant chord. Wagner’s composition of Tristan und Isolde was inspired by the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer (particularly The World as Will and Representation), as well as by Wagner’s affair with Mathilde Wesendonck. Widely acknowledged as a pinnacle of the operatic repertoire, Tristan was notable for Wagner’s unprecedented use of chromaticism, tonal ambiguity, orchestral colour, and harmonic suspension. Tristan is a milestone on the move away from common practice harmony and tonality and it lays the groundwork for the direction of all music genres in the 20th century. Both Wagner’s libretto style and music were also profoundly influential on the symbolist poets of the late 19th century and early 20th century.
