This is a modern interpretation of Tristan and Isolde. Some poeple might not like the modern sets and slight changes to the standard story line. But the music is beautifully performed and captured with high quality. The video is well done, with many closeups and interesting shots. There are absolutely no extras on the DVD; only the performance with subtitles, which is a bit disappointing since there is an hour of free space on the second DVD that they could have used for something, but this is a minor complaint. This is a superb performance, and I highly recommend it.
