Tristan und Isolde at the Royal Festival Hall

26 sep 2010

First seen at the Paris Opéra in 2005, Peter Sellars and Bill Viola’s production of Tristan und Isolde, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, has since morphed into a concert-hall performance: the drama plays out in a spare semi-staging, with Viola’s original video art retained as the backdrop.
