Act One
Isolde feels that Tristan has betrayed her and orders her woman, Brangäne, to persuade Tristan to come to her so they can talk things out. He is very reluctant to do so. His servant, Kurwenal, declares that a hero can never be subservient to the maid whom he has courted in his uncle's name and he sings a satirical song about Morold's death. Isolde tells Brangäne about her first meeting with Tristan. Brangäne seeks to comfort her mistress and reminds her of the magic potions Isolde's mother gave her to take with her on the journey to Cornwall. Isolde is desperate at the thought of being so close to the man she loves while being forced to live as the wife of another. So she plans to die with Tristan. When the latter appears, Isolde demands that he should drink the poison with her as a penance for killing Morold. Assuming that they are both now about to die, Tristan and Isolde declare their love for each other. But the potion which Brangäne has given them was not the poison. Accompanied by cheering from the people, Tristan and Isolde reach Cornwall.

Ma che cosa ha composto quest'uomo !!!! Ho la netta impressione che ne siano strabiliati per primi quanti lo stanno eseguendo nel golfo mistico. Grazie a tuttissimi

A música clássica é um grande patrimônio da humanidade que precisa ser mantido e preservado .

[@petatap]

interesting to see Peter Konwitschny's idea: love making and pathetic acting is BEFORE the love potion, after the drink it's "der Täuschung Ende" :)

Waltraud Meier played different Isoldes in Muenchen and Bayreuth in the 1990s.

To subject such great voices to this cheesy cruise ship production, is a travesty beyond belief.
