Nilsson loved to work with Wieland Wagner. She wrote, "He knows how to make me glamorous with makeup and his brilliant lighting". I think this is definitely the Boulez performance from Japan. I have the video. No one sang Isolde like Nilsson. I saw her performances in Bayreuth, Vienna, Met, San Francisco....etc. amazing.
My German is pretty weak, and I don't know the Opera, but this is very well acted and sung. I watched the whole thing, and I don't usually do that if I can't understand what is being said.
Perhaps the best Video registration 9of "Tristan und isolde". Wer have Pierrwe Boulez (Director) and W.Wagner (+) staging. - don´ think you are blind at all (:) !
that's exactly what she complained about, and the fact that the dye came off on her skin from the sweating. I think I remember hearing her talk about it in an interview on German radio many years ago.
Nilsson is my favorite Isolde because she sings this monologue like no one else. It's not the most dramatic rendition I've ever heard but no one else hits those top notes like Nilsson.

this is what it means to perform the role - using the text, coloring the words, bringing the story alive - glorious.

I guess sometimes artists have to sacrifice for the overall effect of the performance. And it worked this time.
She looks great and sounds wonderful.
