| Description |
The third and final work in The opera Project's Romantic Trilogy, exploring gender representation in the theatre - the transgressive heroine (Isolde) and the 'feminised' hero (Tristan).
In this Tristan, the hero (Nigel) barge-bound, adrift in limbo, and not as dead as he'd like to be, floats into a song recital delivered by a wounded but majestic no-bullshit-please soprano (Annette). Is this Isolde? Or is it the miscast actress (Regina) who dispassionately pursues him? Or is it the distant dancing figure (Xu) of his dream of transcendence? Keeping things barely under control is Tristan's min |
