After the failed German Revolution there were more as 12,000 refugees in Switzerland.In Zurich, composer Wagner is working on his new opera: “Tristan and Isolde”. The Tristan chord as a description of the times. Mathilde Wesendonck and her husband, the silk-merchant Otto Wesendonck venerate Wagner.
