On 10 June 1865 Tristan und Isolde premiered in Munich as a royal-theatre object. This Fact stores the court-luxury form of first access, not later global repertory teaching.

Context

A difficult score can be a public good decades later. 1865 was a king’s night. Split later IMSLP/Met access.

Richard Wagner’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.

10 June 1865, National Theatre Munich, Ludwig’s money. Hans von Bülow conducted. A court premiere with restricted public is a luxury-cultural good. Later Met/repertory access is a sibling.

Why it matters

A royal premiere of a music drama is a luxury-access inequality path at the first night.

1865 is not 1876 Bayreuth.
