The King goes out upon a night hunt, and no sooner has he disappeared than Isolde gives the signal for his approach, while Brangoena goes to her station to watch. After a brief dialogue Brangoena's warning voice is heard.
As the vessel is nearing the land, Isolde sends Brangoena to the Knight, who is also in love with her, but holds himself aloof by reason of a blood-feud, and orders him to appear at her side. His refusal turns Isolde's affection to bitterness, and she resolves that he shall die, and that she will share death with him.
She once more calls Tristan, and tells him that the time has come for him to make atonement for slaying her kinsman, Morold. She directs Brangoena to mix a death-potion and invites him to drink with her, but without her knowledge Brangoena has prepared a love-potion, which inflames their passions beyond power of restraint.
"Tristan und Isolde," an opera in three acts, words by the composer, was first produced at Munich, June 10, 1865, under the direction of Hans von Bülow, with the following cast of characters: TRISTAN Herr LUDWIG SCHNORR VON CAROLSFELD. KURWENAL Herr MITTERWURZER. KING MARK Herr ZOTTMAYER. ISOLDE Mme. SCHNORR VON CAROLSFELD. BRANGOENA Mlle.
Oblivious of the landing, the approach of the royal train, and all that is going on about them, they remain folded in mutual embrace. The second act opens in Cornwall, in a garden which leads to Isolde's chamber, she being already wedded to King Mark. With Brangoena she is waiting for Tristan.
