In early 2026 soprano Lise Davidsen will perform the role of Isolde in two cities: first in Barcelona, then New York City in March. In 2024, Ms. Davidsen tried out the role "on the road" when she sang Act II in a concert performance in Munich. The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra was led by Sir Simon Rattle.
