Prelude & Liebestod
Author(s):
Terrence Mcnally
PRELUDE & LIEBESTOD listens to the head of a major symphony orchestra while he conducts the Prelude and Liebestod of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and rhapsodizes about his closeted homosexual existence. Attending the concert is his well-to-do-society wife and her counterpoint, a lusty male groupie who idolizes the conductor. As the music mounts in excitement, the conductor gives way to a super-charged erotic memory of his first great sexual encounter, climaxing, as though to the music, in a gruesome, self-inflicted death.
