Tristan und Isolde (Act II & Liebestod)
Music and Libretto: Richard Wagner
Act II of Tristan und Isolde takes place over a single night. And in that night, we witness an entire life-love relationship unfold as it works out deep emotional conflicts, contemplates the quest for transcendence beyond the contradictions of our existence, and arrives at a supreme state of bliss. Then of course, daybreak arrives and it all gets shattered.
