Tristan and Isolde<\/em> 25 Oct\u201322 Nov<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The opera of the operas, Richard Wagner’s delirium of love Tristan and Isolde, takes over the Norrland Opera. The work has horrified moralists and captivated audiences for almost 160 years. The chaste knight’s tale of Tristan, who cannot possibly be reconciled with his Isolde, is charged in Wagner’s garb with an undercurrent of erotic power \u2013 it is daring and maxed out \u2013 just as a Wagner opera should be. Don’t miss this year’s cultural event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights version<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The performance has three acts and is almost five hours long including two intermissions. At Norrlandsoperan, Tristan and Isolde <\/em>is also performed in an abridged version that is 2 hours and 30 minutes long incl. 30 minutes long, with musical highlights and where a narrator, Hannes Meidal from the Royal Dramatic Theatre, fills in the gaps in the story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
