An introduction to Wagner's TRISTAN & ISOLDE with Ralf Pleger & Alexander Polzin – La Monnaie

Tackling Richard Wagner's Tristan & Isolde is an ordeal for any opera director. In order to transpose the flood of monologues and dialogues in this timeless work into lasting images, La Monnaie called upon two ambitious visual artists. On the one hand, director and filmmaker Ralf Pleger, who knows the German composer very well. On the other hand, the sculptor and set designer Alexander Polzin. In this video portrait, the two artists explain their approach. Streamed on OperaVision on 22 May 2020 at 19:00 CET and available for 6 months: https://operavision.eu/en/library/per...
