Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
A great work of art does not conquer an audience, it passes them by... Seen through this prism, Wagner's musical drama Tristan and Isolde is not only one of the most superlative achievements of Romanticism, it is also a gateway through to a sonically, harmonically and expressively new world—a true turning point in Music. Conducted by Stefanos Tsialis, distinguished opera singers with considerable experience in the Wagnerian oeuvre transport us into a world of fierce passions, unparalleled music and poetic emotion.
