Tristan und Isolde Syndicate

Tristan und Isolde is one of Richard Wagner’s later works and is notable for its daring harmonies and extreme emotions which have moved artists and audiences throughout the generations and was described by Wagner himself as ‘the most audacious and original of my life’.

The Tristan und Isolde Production Syndicate will bring together like-minded Wagnerians and opera lovers who wish to deepen their knowledge of the art form and gain a unique insight into the staging of Christof Loy’s award-winning production of Wagner’s masterpiece under the baton of Maestro Semyon Bychkov.

This syndicate offers a group of supporters the opportunity to follow the production from start to finish – with access to working rehearsals, an intimate discussion evening in a private home and a celebratory evening around a performance with artists of The Royal Opera.

Supporters are invited to make a gift to join the Production Syndicate, and higher levels of support are welcomed at a Role Level and at Production Level.
