TheatreHD Opera Club in GUM Cinema. Tristan und Isolde. Premiere with Katerina Novikova

A monitor on the wall, a luxurious salon, twisted wooden panels and cream upholstery – this is the superyacht ship that carries Isolde to King Mark in Dmitry Chernyakov’s production. The director is focused on the very “close-up” that Wagner himself insisted on. This is exactly how this most complex of operas can and should be staged – with close, even piercing attention to the soul and feelings of each character. Closed interiors and looped sets create a magnifying glass for the main thing – a relevant look at the timeless story of “love in death”. Rich colors and a sultry atmosphere that permeate Wagner’s score – all this found its expression in the “traditionally original” and unconventional idea of ​​the director.

Katerina Novikova, head of the music department of the Russia-Culture TV channel, will present to the audience the opera.
