| Birmingham Symphony Hall, Broad Street, Birmingham B1, United Kingdom Thursday 23-Sep-10 05:30pm Wagner's Tristan und Isolde (UK Premiere) ‘…The overall impact is shattering. A great occasion, no question.’ The Guardian ‘It could well be a very long time before something this great comes our way again.’ Los Angeles Times ‘One of the greatest experiences of my artistic life’ Esa-Pekka Salonen This performance is, quite simply, an unmissable event that is one of the highlights of the UK cultural calendar: a partnership of three of the greatest artists of the present time – conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, artistic collaborator Peter Sellars and film artist Bill Viola. Set against the stunning backdrop of Viola’s film projections, this UK premiere promises to bring a new intensity to Wagner’s hymn to love and death. Classic FM’s Anne-Marie Minhall, says of tonight’s recommended concert: “Wagner’s tale of forbidden love was inspired by Arthurian legend. The composer himself said that the story is ’one of endless yearning, longing, the bliss and wretchedness of love…one sole redemption – death, finality, a sleep without awakening.’” Concert performance with visual projections. Sung in German with English surtitles. Choir, Chorus Boxes, Stalls front four rows not available. Reduced availability in the Terraces, Upper Circle Ledges, Grand Tier Ledges and Platform Boxes. Discounts also available for 60 plus, students and under 25s online, by phone or in person.

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Sunday 26-Sep-10 04:00pm Tristan und Isolde Please note running time of five hours including two intervals In one of the most passionate love stories ever told, Tristan and Isolde's lives are set on a path to tragedy by the simple replacement of poison for a love potion. Yet this tragedy also results in their all-encompassing love for each other, and the intensity of their passion is expressed through Wagner's sumptuous chromaticism and lush orchestral colours. The opera is one of the peaks of the operatic repertory, and the climax of Isolde's 'Liebestod' is one of the most moving and all-embracing musical moments ever written. Please note that due to video scenes with nudity this performance is not recommended for under-14s.
