MET Opera: Tristan und Isolde

Running time: 327 mins

After years of anticipation, a truly unmissable event arrives as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner�s transcendent 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, Met-debut staging by 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�as well as Music Director Yannick N�zet-S�guin�s first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her signature portrayal of Brang�ne, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner�s Der Fliegende Holl�nder and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke.
