Richard Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde is a revolutionary romantic opera that explores a doomed love affair so intense that the protagonists can only achieve eternal union in death.
In a truly unmissable event, the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic sopranos: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner’s meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan. The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new staging by Yuval Sharon.Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the new production, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to cinemas on March 21.
One of the world’s greatest Wagnerian artists, Lise Davidsen tackles a pinnacle of the dramatic soprano repertoire, the Irish princess Isolde, opposite heroic tenor Michael Spyres as the love-drunk Tristan in Wagner’s transcendent epic. Davidsen returns to the Met after celebrated turns in Beethoven’s Fidelio (2025), Puccini’s Tosca (2024), Verdi’s La Forza del Destino (2024), and Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier (2023) and Ariadne auf Naxos (2022).
Yuval Sharon—hailed by The New York Times as “the most visionary opera director of his generation” and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuth— introduces an epic new production of Tristan und Isolde, which marks the company’s first performances of the opera in ten years and Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s first time conducting it at the Met.
A pinnacle of classical music, Tristan und Isolde is built on the idea of a great yearning, irresistible and self-perpetuating, that cannot be fulfilled in this life. The prelude sweeps the listener into an ecstatic yet tortuous world of longing, and the vocal parts are of unique stature. The opera culminates in Isolde’s soaring final aria, “Mild und leise.”
