Tristan and Isolde / Ljubljana (Opening)

  • SNG Opera in balet Ljubljana (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Robert Wilson directs and designs Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde in an international co-production in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Wrocław (Poland), Brussels (Belgium) and Madrid (Spain).

The subject is loosely derived from a medieval 13th-century romance, connected to the mythical saga of King Arthur. Wagner was inspired to the work by the experience of a deep mutual understanding and (probably platonic) love affair with Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of a rich patron in Zurich. The central theme is the contrast of the mundane “day” (ambitions and thriving for honor and glamour) with the “night” (the quest for truly deep emotions in the mystical merging of two persons into one, a sort of afterworld where all human longings finally come to rest). The influence of Wagner’s new approach to treat the orchestra as an autonomous symphonic force rather than accompanying the singers and his pushing the boundaries of harmonic rules to the verge of atonality caused a revolution in the history of music. The famous ‘Tristan Chord’ that opens the prelude and forms one of the central leitmotifs of the opera represents a dissonance that cannot be solved but leads constantly to new dissonances. It is the expression for an impossible love and the yearning for unlimited union with the loved one that seems to be possible only in some other world.
— Konrad Kuhn (Dramaturg)

Ubu / Riga

Ubu is inspired by the text Ubu Roi, written by Alfred Jarry in 1896, a critique of war and totalitarianism with a grotesque, dictatorial main character that is as relevant today as when it was created, and also by Joan Miró’s creations around the universe of that play. Robert Wilson and Imma Prieto created a new work based on Jarry and Miró, with a new interpretation that is nourished by current socio-political conflicts.

Robert Wilson directs and designs Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde in an international co-production in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Wrocław (Poland), Brussels (Belgium) and Madrid (Spain).

The subject is loosely derived from a medieval 13th-century romance, connected to the mythical saga of King Arthur. Wagner was inspired to the work by the experience of a deep mutual understanding and (probably platonic) love affair with Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of a rich patron in Zurich. The central theme is the contrast of the mundane “day” (ambitions and thriving for honor and glamour) with the “night” (the quest for truly deep emotions in the mystical merging of two persons into one, a sort of afterworld where all human longings finally come to rest). The influence of Wagner’s new approach to treat the orchestra as an autonomous symphonic force rather than accompanying the singers and his pushing the boundaries of harmonic rules to the verge of atonality caused a revolution in the history of music. The famous ‘Tristan Chord’ that opens the prelude and forms one of the central leitmotifs of the opera represents a dissonance that cannot be solved but leads constantly to new dissonances. It is the expression for an impossible love and the yearning for unlimited union with the loved one that seems to be possible only in some other world.
— Konrad Kuhn (Dramaturg)

Mary Said What She Said / Adelaide

Robert Wilson directed this monologue by Darryl Pinckney with Isabelle Huppert in a production by the Théâtre de la Ville, Paris.
