Description

Opera poster for Tristan und Isolde by Wagner - from the minimalist opera poster series by illustrator and writer Moira Risen - a perfect gift for opera fans.

'The tragic love of Tristan and Isolde and their fate is sealed as they drink a love potion instead of a death poison aboard Tristan's ship before they end their voyage on the sea and arrive to King Marke's land. Isolde is promised to the king in marriage, Tristan has to choose between his love and betraying his beloved uncle - as usual with these kinds of stories, it ends badly, with swords and deaths...

The sheet music at the bottom of the poster is from Isolde's last aria 'Liebestode' (Mild und leise).

This poster is part of my continuously augmented opera-themed poster collection featuring the works of Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Wagner, Rossini and other great composers. '

All pieces are available as high quality framed, acrylic, metal or canvas print in different sizes.
