HPO - TRISTAN AND ISOLDE

"Orchestra, do not disturb the audience!" Richard Wagner hid the orchestra in the pit in his Bayreuth Festival Theatre and even went a step further by putting the cover on. In our opening concert of the season, the Wagnerian tide washes over the Helsinki Music Centre, promising listeners rich musical treasures. Stuart Skelton and Lise Lindstrom are Tristan and Isolde in the passion of the night.
