Overview
- Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde is running at the Metropolitan Opera from March 9 to April 4 with Lise Davidsen in the title role.
- Performances sold so quickly that the company added an extra matinee before opening night, reflecting strong demand.
- The new production marks Yuval Sharon’s Met debut with sets by Es Devlin and conducting by Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
- Early reviews hail Davidsen and tenor Michael Spyres, who is making his Tristan role debut, as a standout pairing.
- The Met has cast Davidsen to lead Verdi’s Macbeth in 2026–27 and is planning a new Ring cycle built around her, following her return to the stage after giving birth to twins in June.
