Julian Joseph's Tristan and Isolde

Julian Joseph's contemporary, multi-cultural reworking of the Tristan and Isolde story, retold by librettist Mike Phillips and performed by the 91热爆 Concert Orchestra.

East and West, romance and tragedy collide in Julian Joseph's contemporary, multi-cultural reworking of the Tristan and Isolde story, as retold by librettist Mike Phillips.
Tristan, recast as a Romanian mafia enforcer of African descent, meets Isolde of African-Transylvanian heritage when she visits her family in Romania. But have they met before in London? Julian Joseph draws on jazz and classical music to illustrate the changing nature of European identity in the modern world.
Singers Carleen Anderson, Ken Papenfus, Christine Tobin and Cleveland Watkiss join the Julian Joseph Trio and members of his All Star Big Band, with the 91热爆 Concert Orchestra and conductor Clark Rundell.

Presented by Sarah Walker.
