Violeta Urmana Soprano 

Isolde will dominate Violeta Urmana's professional life for the next few months. Concert performances of the second act at the BBC Proms and in Baden-Baden with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under Sir Simon Rattle and alongside Ben Heppner's Tristan will be followed in September by a tour with the Philharmonia Orchestra of London. Under the direction of Esa-Pekka Salonen, she will be Isolde in a semi-staged production in Lucerne, Dortmund, Birmingham and London. The installations by video artist Bill Viola, who attracted attention in 2005 with his visualisation of Wagner's opera in Paris, will provide a fascinating optical frame to this musical event.
