Wagner's Tristan and Isolde is a groundbreaking opera that explores the intense and tragic love between the knight Tristan and the Irish princess Isolde. With themes of love, longing, and fate, the opera defies traditional narrative structure, focusing on the profound psychological and emotional depths of its characters. Wagner's revolutionary use of harmony and leitmotifs, especially in the famous ""Liebestod"" scene, marks this work as one of the greatest achievements in the history of opera.
Wilhelm Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was a German composer, conductor, theatre director, philosopher, music theorist, poet, essayist and writer primarily known for his operas, for which he wrote both the music and libretto.
