Tristan and Isolde

Isolde, John William Waterhouse (1849-1917)

  There's nothing quite like Valentines Day to give the recently besingled lady the blues.

Here is my favourite aria of all time from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. 

This version is performed by Joan Sutherland, during the final act in which Isolde describes her vision of the dead Tristan rising again to met her at last in the union of Liebstod, as she dies of a broken heart.
