It would be interesting to know why Tristan und Isolde was placed in the Proms programme in between Siegfried and Götterdämmerung.

Wagner wrote Tristan and Die Meistersinger between acts two and three of Siegfried, and to be really chic some company should have mounted the Ring and the two others in that order.
