Mariusz Treliński to Open New Season at the Metropolitan Opera
A staging of Tristan und Isolde by Mariusz Treliński, artistic director of the National Opera in Warsaw, will open the 2016/2017 season at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In June, the opera will be staged in Warsaw.
After Treliński's successful debut at the Met in 2015, where he directed Tchaikovsky's Iolanta and Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle, Peter Gelb, the director of the Met, offered the Polish artist an opportunity to open the new season.
The Polish director claims that the staging of Tristan und Isolde will be a youthful dream of his come true. Treliński first became fascinated by Richard Wagner's 1859 opera when he was 19 years old and he admits that he contemplates using his original ideas in the next year's production.

Tristan un Isolde is a joint project by the National Opera in Warsaw, the Metropolitan Opera, the Baden-Baden Festpiele and the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, the staging will star Swedish soprano Nina Stemme, one of the world's foremost performers of Wagner roles, and Australian tenor Stuart Skeleton.
Altogether there will be ten shows, the first of which will inaugurate the new season. Beginning on 8th September 2016, the opera will be broadcast in HD to 70 countries (in Poland screenings will be available in 20 cities). It is estimated that Treliński's production will be watched by an audience of 1.5 million viewers.
