 It was at Wagner's own request that Schnorr von Carolsfeld and his wife were then cast as Tristan and Isolde, King Ludwig having sponsored a renewed attempt to mount the opera.The premiere finally took place in Munich on June 10, 1865, but the work received mixed reviews, with some critics even calling it "indecent".It was given again on June 13 and 19, and by royal command on July 1.
