‘Tristan und Isolde’

Gran Teatre del Liceu

From 12/01/2026 to 31/01/2026

Opera. Musical drama in three acts, with music and libretto by Richard Wagner, based on the medieval legend of Tristan and Iseult.

Tristan und Isolde is an immense dramatical and musical poem, an infinite song of love and death inspired by the medieval legend of Celtic origin from the 12th century, compiled by Gottfried von Strassburg, which became one of the cultural reference works of the Middle Ages and, in the hands of Wagner, a cultural revolution.

Written between 1857 and 1859 and premièred in Munich in 1865, the starting point for the opera are the tragic deaths of Tristan and Isolde. With the libretto by Wagner himself, it serves as the most powerful expression of passionate love that asserts itself, uncontrollable, against one’s own will, moral norms, and divine laws.

In the new production by Bárbara Lluch, Tristan and Isolde, with an inaccessible desire, are two people who try to escape the vital roles that have been assigned to them, who wish to flee from daily lies. They are two people who suffer and find in love the repair and restoration of their lives. They rise and challenge the status quo, but by losing their connection with reality, they ultimately fail.
