Created by composer Dai Fujikura and librettist Harry Ross, and directed by Satoshi Miyagi, this international collaboration brings the intricate textures of Japanese tradition to the grandeur of opera, with Scottish Opera joining forces with KAJIMOTO to present a spectacular staging. Starring Daisuke Ohyama as Hokusai and soprano Julieth Lozano Rolong as i, Stuart Stratford conducts The Orchestra of Scottish Opera, augmented by the ethereal sound of the shakuhachi and the Chorus of the Great Wave embodying the communal spirit of Edo-era printmakers.

A tale almost a thousand years old, Tristan and Isolde has long been considered the ultimate tale of passionate, romantic love in forbidden circumstances. With its universal theme of all-consuming love and bitter-sweet tragedy, it fits perfectly into Wagner's repertoire of epics, and the composer's opera is often considered one of the greatest ever. Scottish Opera bring this brilliant work to Glasgow's Theatre Royal for a strictly limited run of just two shows, under the direction of Justin Way, with Stuart Stratford conducting and a host of excellent soloists bringing the monumental production to life.
