Wagner transforms the tragic Celtic legend from the 12th century into a visually stunning opera where passion and mortality are tightly intertwined. At the time of composing “Tristan und Isolde,” Wagner himself experienced complex emotions, driven by a deep infatuation with Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of his benefactor, Otto Wesendonck, a silk merchant.
