Granted, I have to be forthcoming and say I did not see it this time around, but heard enough feedback from those who did see it - all of them enjoyed it (hey, it IS Tristan, after all), and felt that the staging used was pretty much in step with how the "modern" concepts of the show have developed ever since Wieland Wagner's stark, almost-kabuki-like staging in the late 50s/early 60s.
It's hard to explain if you didn't see this particular production. I think they leaned a mattress up against stage left to represent a bed, but it's hard to say.

True on the 'hard-to-explain'-ness. Then again, as long as the set didn't make Tristan look like it was trying to be, say, Streetcar Named Desire or some wack-ass idea by Mr. Sellars,.... I guess it was okay.
