  • Programme Note

    This chamber opera incorporates singers, ensemble, puppets and mime. “I loved this Tristan and Iseult because here we have a beautiful and archetypal tale of conflict between loyalty and love, told and acted out with supreme economy and clarity in a combination of sound and movement unsullied by romantic lushness or gothic fancy, but with the uncluttered strong lines of Romanesque architecture.” (Robert Leek, Radio Talk)
