Tristan und Isolde Opera

Code: 016010

The legend of Tristan and Isolde (Tristram and Iseult) takes place during the Middle Ages, when knighthood and the chivalric code prevailed. On board ship from Ireland to Cornwall, a sailor's voice resounds from the rigging. His song about an Irish girl annoys the fiery Isolde, who is being taken by Tristan as bride for his uncle, King Marke. Isolde wishes
 the ship would sink rather than take her to her hated destination. Her companion, Brangäne,  tries in vain to calm her.
