Tristan and Isolde December 12, 2008

!Tristan Und Isolde' is an opera in three acts by Richard Wagner and was composed between 1857 and 1859. It features two artists in the title roles like John Treleaven and Linda Watson and the bold and fancifully abstract Hockney sets dazzle the eye creating a tone of antic freshness of fairy tale legend filtered through adult fantasy. It provides a stunning visual counterpoint to Wagner's unfolding drama of fatal attraction and forbidden love.
