On 10 June 1865 Tristan und Isolde was first heard in public theatre. This Fact stores that music-drama object as later-copyable repertory, not the first-night luxury form.
Context
Split inequality of the royal night. The score became a teaching object in later houses and in IMSLP-type public scores.
Richard Wagner’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.
Same 10 June 1865 night as the court-luxury row. Access and luxury share a spine. Bülow conducted. Later houses copied the work.
Why it matters
A premiere that later houses can study is an education path with lag.
Keep the luxury sibling.
