At Dresden Semperoper, a New Take on ‘Tristan and

Isolde’

By ROSLYN SULCAS February 17, 2015

DRESDEN, Germany — David Dawson’s new “Tristan

and Isolde” for the Dresden Semperoper Ballett raises

interesting questions about the full-length story ballet, a

genre much-loved by audiences and seldom tackled by

choreographers today.

It’s surprising that the Tristan and Isolde story, a

medieval Celtic tale that has long figured in literature,

film and in Wagner’s opera of the same name, has been

so infrequently used by ballet. Like “Romeo and Juliet,” it

has instant attraction and union between lovers from

opposing camps, with society and history against them,

and tragic death at its end. You can imagine what John

Cranko or Kenneth MacMillan, who brought the big, all-

guns-blazing story ballets like “Manon” and “Eugene

Onegin” to the world i the 1960s and 1970s (ballet box

offices are still thanking them), might have done with it.
