DVD:
Tristan und Isolde
Stephan Märki’s brilliant production opens up space into the infinity of the universe.
Richard Wagner called love “the most beautiful of all dreams”. Stephan Märki‘s vision of Tristan and Isolde takes us on a journey into the universe, to where Isolde perceives her lover Tristan resurrected, “shining among the stars”, as Wagner wrote.
The expressive team of singers is led by the heroic voice of tenor Bryan Register as Tristan and the Bayreuth-acclaimed soprano Catherine Foster as Isolde. Annika Schlicht makes her charismatic debut as Brangäne, while Andreas Jäpel powerfully portrays Tristan's friend Kurwenal. Dimitry Ivashchenko's profound bass characterises the tragedy of King Marke. This outstanding production was created on the stage of the Staatstheater Cottbus, which music critic Wolfgang Schreiber voted “Opera House of the Year” in 2023 in the magazine “Opernwelt”. He also honoured it as stage design of the year and praised Märki and Fürhofer‘s “interstellar vision of the world of Tristan and Isolde”.
