The Teatro Carlo Felice is set to present a new production of Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde.”

The production, which is set to run between Feb. 13 and 22, 2026, will be conducted by Donato Renzetti and staged by Laurence Dale.

The cast will feature Tilmann Unger (Tristan), Evgeny Stavinsky (King Marke), Marjorie Owens (Isolde), Nicolò Ceriani (Kurwenal), Saverio Fiore (Melot), Daniela Barcellona (Brangäne), Andrea Schifaudo (A Sailor / A Shepherd) and Matteo Peirone (The Helmsman).

In a statement, General Director Michele Galli said,  “The production of ‘Tristan und Isolde’ represents a central milestone in the artistic journey of the Teatro Carlo Felice. This masterpiece offers an unprecedented musical experience, capable of dissolving time and enveloping the listener in a continuous sonic flow. Wagner here composed the most radical score of his era, portraying love as abyss, mystery and destiny. It is also fully consistent with the thematic thread of Navigators that underpins the season’s programming: figures in perpetual motion, suspended between departure and arrival, between the real world and the longing for the absolute. No other Wagnerian work embodies so powerfully the idea of navigation as an existential condition, of the sea as a symbolic space, and of the journey as destiny.”
