Sung in German with English supertitles.

Love and death are inexorably intertwined in this opera based upon an ancient Celtic legend. In this incomparable work, Wagner, through a combination of musical genius and the sheer force of his personality, shaped radical philosophical ideals about desire, sacrifice, and redemption into a groundbreaking work of art that continues to influence composers, worldwide. This intense drama is sparked by a chance meeting and a powerful potion that drives a Cornish knight and an Irish princess-the wife of his mentor and king-into each other's arms, creating a fiery love triangle that can only be fully consummated in death. The Dallas Opera has assembled an extraordinary cast for this once-in-a-lifetime concert experience, featuring projections by Elaine McCarthy, the creator of special video effects for the critically acclaimed world premiere of Moby-Dick.
