Tristan and Isolde - English National Opera Guide 6 (includes libretto)

Richard Wagner Price: $19.95

‘A Landmark in Musical History’ is John Luke Rose’s title for
the introduction to this extraordinary piece of theatre

It belongs to the German tradition of mystical writing and a short note on the poem itself by Martin Swales and Timothy McFarland elucidates some of Wagner’s literary techniques

Anthony Negus, who assisted Reginald Goodall on the WNO production of this opera, has contributed a penetrating analysis of the musical structure of the opera, while Patrick Carnegy assesses the remarkable solutions to staging an opera which some argue is best experienced with your back to the performers!

English National Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original
