After years of anticipation, a truly unmissable event arrives in cinemas worldwide on March 21 as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner's transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan. The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new, Met-debut staging by Yuval Sharon--hailed by The New York Times as "the most visionary opera director of his generation" and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuth--as well as Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin's first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her portrayal of Brangäne, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner's Der Fliegende Holländer and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke.

Wonderful opera. What I disliked was that when the opera was supposed to start the screen went black, we missed the first 15 minutes, which includes the overture and sets the stage for the rest of the opera. After repeated complaints we got the opera back but for the first 20 minutes the ceiling lights were on. A wonderful opera with a troubled so so beginning.

There was no soundtrack, no audio the entire show. The video kept breaking. I am very disappointed this time.

Fantastic singing, a divine orchestra, a new production that didn't get in the way and at times enhanced the story. Not so sure about popping a baby out on stage just prior to the Liebestod it sure provides a new take on postpartum depression!

Opera was great, very interesting new production came across well on the screen. At the beginning of the showing, the sound level was way too low, and we had to ask an attendant to get the manager to turn up the sound, which they did, promptly and it was much better.
