'A Landmark in Musical History' is John Luke Rose's title for the
introduction to this extraordinary piece of theatre. It belongs to
the German tradition of mystical writing, and a short note on the
poem itself by Martin Swales and Timothy McFarland elucidates some
of Wagner's literary techniques. Anthony Negus, who assisted
Reginald Goodall on the WNO production of Tristan und Isolde, has
contributed a penetrating analysis of the musical structure of the
opera, while Patrick Carnegy assesses the remarkable solutions to
staging an opera which some argue is best experienced with your
back to the performers. Contents: Synopsis, Timothy McFarland;
