The next production of ''Tristan'' was in [[Weimar]] in 1874. Wagner himself supervised another production of ''Tristan'' in Berlin in March 1876, but the opera was only performed in [[Bayreuth Festspielhaus|his own theatre]] at the [[Bayreuth Festival]] after his death; Cosima Wagner, his widow, oversaw this in 1886, a production that was widely acclaimed.

The first production outside of Germany was given at the [[Theatre Royal, Drury Lane]], London in 1882; Tristan was performed by [[Hermann Winkelmann]], who later that year sang the title role of ''[[Parsifal]]'' at Bayreuth. It was conducted by [[Hans Richter (conductor)|Hans Richter]], who also conducted the first [[Royal Opera House|Covent Garden]] production two years later. Winkelmann was also the first Vienna Tristan, in 1883. The first American performance was held at the [[Metropolitan Opera]] in December 1886, conducted by [[Anton Seidl]].
