Thank you Goldstar! The music was so powerful, the performances and were fantastic and the David Hockney sets plus some very creative lighting made it a great opera - when it all comes together like that, its an extraordinary experience! Thank you for making it affordable! I would not have gone without the discount you provided!Written on Jan 24 2008

David Hockney's set and the orchestra were the best part of the entertainment. Isolde was a much better singer than Tristan. He is a mushy looking Brit with limited acting ability. i was surprised since this is his big role. the lovers' themes are among the world's most romantic music. so the beginning of the opera in which the orchestra sets those themes and then continues them through the opera is really important.Written on Jan 24 2008
The conductor led that orchestra and supported the singers. i can recommend the performance on this alone. Watson has a strong voice, a little harsh, and looks pretty good from the neck up.

The L.A. Opera production of Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" was so wonderful, we saw it twice; first with Linda Watson in the role of Isolde, and the following Sunday with Susan Foster singing her debut Isolde. James Conlon conducting the L.A. Opera Orchestra, captured all the emotion and beauty of Wagner's masterpiece.Written on Feb 05 2008

Beautiful play..but really long. And for the price, the seats could have been better. We could barely see the supertitles because the seats were so far back.Written on Feb 08 2008

More Information About LA Opera Presents Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde
Description
<p>The return of an iconic coup de theatre. David Hockney's stunning designs make his breathtaking, internationally acclaimed staging of Tristan und Isolde one of the Company's most exciting landmark productions. The bold and fancifully abstract Hockney sets dazzle the eye, creating a "tone of antic freshness, of fairy-tale legend filtered through adult (and adulterous) fantasy" (New York Times). They provide a stunning visual counterpoint to Wagner's unfolding drama of fatal attraction and forbidden love.</p> <p>With the intense longing of the opening orchestral prelude all the way through to Isolde's final aria, the artfully orgasmic "Liebestod," Wagner charts new operatic territory that changed the course of music history. Tristan und Isolde features two artists in the title roles, John Treleaven and Linda Watson, who will return in future seasons as Siegfried and Brünnhilde in the Company's first presentation of Wagner's epic Ring cycle.</p>
