Tristan und Isolde

Richard Wagner’s epic Tristan and Isolde is conducted by James Levine in this visually spare and dramatically gripping interpretation. Join GREAT PERFORMANCES at the Met for this special presentation, when Deborah Voigtone of the world’s most celebrated Wagnerian sopranos undertakes the iconic role of Isolde for the first time at the Met. Robert Dean Smith, a veteran Tristan of the Bayreuth Festival, portrays the other half of the archetypal couple on this transcendent theatrical journey.

Can someone please tell me the name, artist and location of the exhibit that was featured on last nights Sunday Arts? (June 1st)
It was an interactive museum art exhibit that involved water, lighting effects, a moss wall and a black and white room?
I can’t seem to find it on the website.
Thank you.
