About

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)


Text note

Libretto by Malcolm Crowthers and Michael Hill
