Czech Radio completes Tristan and Isolde project to aid flood-affected seniors

The Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra (SOČR) will conclude its three-part Tristan and Isolde project on Monday, with the final act of Richard Wagner’s opera performed under the baton of conductor Petr Popelka. The proceeds from the concert in Prague's Rudolfinum will be donated to the Help with Us fund, supporting senior homes affected by recent floods through the Czech Radio Endowment Fund.  The concert marks the culmination of a three-season-long project, with each season dedicated to one act of Wagner's opera. The final act, set in Brittany's Kareol castle, sees the tragic end of the love story as Tristan dies in Isolde's arms. Norwegian soprano Elisabeth Teige will perform as Isolde, alongside Swedish tenor Michael Weinius as Tristan.
