Premiere of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde in Munich

The scheduled premiere on 15 May 1865 was postponed due to creditor issues and the illness of the soprano.

The premiere was originally scheduled for 15 May 1865. It was postponed because bailiffs acting for Wagner's creditors interfered, and because the soprano Malvina Schnorr von Carolsfeld was hoarse and needed time to recover. The performance eventually took place on 10 June 1865.
