Premium Tickets to Tristan Project at Lincoln Center

Email Auction for Tickets to An Extraordinary Landmark Event

LANDMARK WEST! is thrilled to auction two premium tickets to a sold-out performance of The Tristan Project on Wednesday, May 2, 2007, thanks to this generous donation from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

“It could well be a very long time before something this great comes our way again,” writes the Los Angeles Times. Acclaimed video artist Bill Viola joins forces with Peter Sellars, Esa-Pekka Salonen, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and a cast of outstanding singers to create a provocative and deeply moving presentation of Tristan un Isolde, Richard Wagner's testament to love. This landmark collaboration weaves together extraordinary imagery and poetic musical expression to create a transcendent and timeless interpretation of this musical masterwork (text from www.lincolncenter.org, more information available by searching "Tristan").
