Dear visitors

Leider können wir in den letzten Zeiten die Seite nicht so pflegen, wie wir es gern hätten - wir bieten um Geduld. Die vielen Photos und Beiträge sammeln sich, aber wir hoffen, demnächst die Webseite aktuallisieren zu können. Ein gutes neues Jahr!!

For the moment (and near future): Tristans preferred! So the ladies Isolde and Brangäne have to wait a little bit. Unfortunately this update is somewhat delayed due to the “sudden death” of our computer (without any Requiem or Liebestod!) during the work for the site. We had to replace it by a new machine and to transfer the data (fortunately nothing was lost) first before starting again.

Important: We have a Search function for the webpage!

VERY IMPORTANT: 2015 (in eight years) it will be 150 years that "Tristan and Isolde" has had its premiere. Is somebody out there with suggestions how to commemorate this date?!? (We are planning to prepare an exhibition, but of course this idea needs strong partners!)

Furthermore, many mistakes have been corrected and many addenda have been made by your help. Thank you very much. We are happy about your continued support and feedback!
