Asher Fisch, last seen at the Met leading Wagner’s Parsifal in the 2012-13 season, will conduct the final two performances of the run. Australian tenor Stuart Skelton sings the role of her doomed lover, Tristan, with Ekaterina Gubanova as Isolde’s maid, Brangäne Evgeny Nikitin as Tristan’s servant, Kurwenal and René Pape as King Marke, the heartbroken ruler who comes between the two lovers. Swedish dramatic soprano Nina Stemme leads the cast in her first Met performances of her signature role, Isolde, which she has sung to acclaim with major international opera companies around the world. The production is by acclaimed Polish director Mariusz Treliński, who made his Met debut in 2015 with the double bill of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta and Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle. Sir Simon Rattle returns to the Met for the first time since his acclaimed 2011 debut to conduct the opera. The Metropolitan Opera will open its 132nd season, the 50th anniversary of its iconic Lincoln Center home, on Monday, September 26 with a new production of Wagner’s epic tragedy Tristan und Isolde.
