Pankratova & Breinl

“Every time I go to the theatre, I cry from beginning to end, because of this great love between the two lovers,” which is why Victoria de los Ángeles chose the Liebestod without hesitation during her interview on the BBC program Desert Island Discs in 1978. This fascination with Tristan und Isolde expressed by Victoria inspires this program featuring a great Wagnerian of the moment, Elena Pankratova, accompanied by Joseph Breinl, directed by Marc Busquets in this salon-style stage proposal that will further enhance the Modernisme of the Sala Domènech i Montaner. A Wagnerian salon atmosphere inspired by the beginnings of Tristan itself at Wahnfried, Richard and Cosima Wagner's home in Bayreuth. As the opening day of 2024, we propose this impossible dialogue between Victoria and Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, a composer whose works she performed in several titles, such as Lohengrin, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, or Tannhäuser; in the latter, she was directed by Wieland Wagner, the composer's grandson, in Bayreuth, remaining to this day the only Spanish soprano to have sung on the Green Hill.
