Darkness falls, and love finds a way. In Act II of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, the summer night itself seems to shimmer with emotion, as the two lovers consummate their passion beneath a canopy of stars. Yet treachery hides in the shadows, and Wagner follows his greatest love scene with some of the most tragic music he ever wrote. Donald Runnicles and a superb international cast dive deep into the glowing heart of Wagner's epic love story. The concert opens with excerpts from the work that some think gave Wagner his inspiration: Hector Berlioz's scarcely less extraordinary Rom茅o et Juliette.
