Tristan und Isolde - WASOs 90th Anniversary Gala

Now that Tristan und Isolde is behind us, we would like to take a moment to reflect on what has been a tremendous endeavour for the Orchestra.

We have been overwhelmed by the unanimous praise that media reviewers have given Principal Conductor, Asher Fisch and your Orchestra for Tristan und Isolde, with 5-star reviews in The Australian, Limelight Magazine, Australian Book Review and The West Australian noting a “magnificent playing of the highest order”, “assurance and a passionate, almost erotic, intensity” between conductor and Orchestra, and an “exceptional cast”, “a conductor of highest accomplishment on the podium, an orchestra consistently on its musical toes and a cast of A1 singers” delivering an “unforgettable” account of Wagner’s masterpiece, all resulting in a “loud and universal standing ovation” at Perth Concert Hall.

Bravissimo to everyone involved!
