‘Belgian National Orchestra & Hermus’

Few works have influenced music history as profoundly as Wagner’s musical drama Tristan und Isolde. Chief conductor and Wagner specialist Antony Hermus performs a 75-minute orchestral arrangement by Dutch composer Henk de Vlieger. This is extended, especially for this concert, to include the original love duet from the second act and Isolde’s Liebestod from the last act. In it, Finnish star soprano Miina-Liisa Värelä takes the part of Isolde and Swedish star tenor Michale Weinius sings the role of Tristan.

Before the concert, chief conductor Antony Hermus will give a multilingual introduction from 14:00 to 14:30 in the Oval Salon, accompanied by Henk de Vlieger (compilation Tristan und Isolde). Admission to the introduction is free on presentation of a concert ticket.
