The plot
The legend of Tristan and Isolde, one of the most romantic stories of the Middle Ages, is very old: it tells the adventures of a knight and a princess who fall in love thanks to a magic elixir. Wagner composed the opera based on Goffredo di Strasburgo’s text and staged it in 1865. It is still considered one of the masterpieces of all time. The version that will be performed, while maintaining the essential dramaturgical and musical lines intact, is adapted in such a way as to exalt the magical and symbolic fairy-tale aspects of the story, which has at its centre important themes linked to the imaginary and ideal horizon of the world of chivalry, such as the search for love, the relationship between public morality and private morality, sin and fidelity.

Spoken parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced.
This Saturday performance is open to everyone.

Presentation
With this project made of breath, air, wind, vital breath, we hope that the Earth, progressively freed from pollution, can breathe again.
The piece, of great emotional intensity and sonic and musical fascination, is intended (in the promoters’ intention) as a liberating trigger of strong energies, directed towards an ever-increasing awareness of environmental and sustainability issues and the actions to be taken to implement them.
A Sound Ecology project to affirm once again affirms that music and the practice of the musical instrument are fundamental in the overall development of the individual, harmonising cognitive faculties with the deepest moods and emotions and acting as a stimulus for the development of the expressive and creative potential of the human being and his interpersonal relational network.
In addition to its specific artistic content, the work’s formative value is particularly significant. In an intergenerational and inclusive experience of new musical languages, it brings together 4 soloists and 100 very young flute players from the flute classes of the Palermo schools with a music focus, from the Liceo Musicale and young Conservatory students who act as tutors in this great project of migration and change.
