Richard Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde.

Tristan und Isolde is an opera in three acts by Richard Wagner composed between 1857 and 1859. Wagner referred to the work not as an opera, rather, a drama. The opera was enormously influential among Western classical composers and provided direct inspiration to composers such as Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Alban Berg, Arnold Schoenberg and Benjamin Britten.

Please note: An inscription most likely to the recipient beneath the quotation has been skillfully removed.
