Tristan und Isolde

Welsh National Opera


No. of reviews: 6

This is a production in which the acting never matches the quality of the singing
31 May 12 / The Oxford Times
The cast barely puts a foot wrong
30 May 12 / South Wales Argus
Ann Petersen's portrayal of the Irish princess was so strong as to command the attention
23 May 12 / The Guardian
WNO’s Tristan and Isolde sound but lacking in impulse
23 May 12 / Seen and Heard
Welsh National Opera's revival of Tristan und Isolde sounded lithe and sumptuous
22 May 12 / Telegraph
Superb lyrical singing and few disagreeable surprises in latest Cardiff Wagner
21 May 12 / The Arts Desk
