The Wagner bicentenary celebration continues with the composer's boldest fusion of legend and harmonic innovation, Tristan and Isolde, which forced him to break off work on his Ring cycle - near this very juncture in the Proms Ring, during the composition of Siegfried and before the final instalment, G枚tterd盲mmerung.

Semyon Bychkov conducts the 主播大秀 Symphony Orchestra and a cast led by Violeta Urmana and Robert Dean Smith in a drama where love and death become one.
