Synopsis
The passion that Tristan and Isolde already felt for each other is
heightened when Isolde’s maid Brangäne changes the deadly poison
they were going to drink for a love potion. Just when they are
about to disembark in Cornwall, where Isolde is to marry King
Marke, Tristan’s uncle, the two young people are overwhelmed by an
uncontrollable extasy. The relationship continues in secret after
Isolde’s marriage to Marke, until they are discovered by Melot, one
of the King’s knights, who confronts Tristan and seriously wounds
him. At his castle in Kareol, Tristan is being attended by his
faithful subject Kurwenal. He yearns to see Isolde again, but when
she arrives it is too late and he dies in his lover’s arms. Isolde
collapses on Tristan’s body and undergoes a transfiguration.
