| | Isolde bids him to show her the way and then, Tristan accuses Melot of betrayal and challenges him to a duel in which he allows himself (Tristan) to suffer a mortal wound. | | | Tristan recounts in a long soliloquy that by healing him of his wound, Isolde had torn open another in his heart; and that the love potion having been the most poisonous of draughts to have delivered him irrevocably into the pain of longing. | | | Through Isolde’s narratives in Act 1, we are told that Tristan had killed her betrothed Morold in a battle to win the independence of Cornwall from Ireland. |

| | On the long journey, Tristan and Isolde realize their passion for each other and attempt suicide by drinking what they believe to be a death potion; however, Isolde's maid, not willing to help Isolde die substitutes a love potion, causing them to fall even more deeply in love. | | | Unable to cope with his betrayal of his uncle, Tristan allows himself to be mortally wounded and Isolde, broken-hearted, wills her own death soon thereafter. | | | Instead Isolde is enraged by the knight Tristan, whom she sees standing on the afterdeck, avoiding her: by delivering her to his uncle, he shows no regard for her feelings. |

| | Tristan and Isolde (Wagner) |
| | Isolde, who is being brought from Ireland to Cornwall by Tristan to be the bride of his uncle, King Mark, starts up, assuming that the reference to an Irish maid is an insult to her. | | | Brangäne further warns Isolde that in her impatience to see Tristan she should not be oblivious to the devious Melot, Tristans supposed friend, who, she alleges, has arranged the nocturnal hunt as a trap. | | | This new theme is developed sequentially, its ever-intensifying repetitions finally finding release in Isoldes expansive phrase dass hell sie dorten leuchte, before her extinguishing of the torch; the climactic power of that phrase is enhanced by the sudden cessation of rhythmic and harmonic motion. |

| | When Tristan and Isolde sing their ecstatic and very extended love duet, the earth, for the susceptible Wagnerite, should move. | | | While her reading of "Liebestod'' will grow, her portrayal of Isolde - the longest role in a single opera - is already one of compassion and courage, defiance and nobility. | | | Isolde is seldom absent from center stage during the high-octane opera's nearly five hours' running time, but Eaglen's energy, intensity and volume never flagged. |

| | The combination of an archetypical storyline with utterly apt musical expression made Tristan und Isolde a perfect storm of association and reference for almost any situation of yearning, unfulfilled love. | | | Wagner basically takes the whole opera to resolve this restless assembly of intervals, and in terms of music history the issue of the Tristan chord is hardly resolved yet. | | | Richard Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde opens with a quietly unstable chord in the woodwinds (over a sighing motif in the cellos) that is as emotionally charged as it is musically ambiguous. |
