Parsifal

About the Event

Tallinn is the European Capital of Culture 2011. The Estonian National Opera Tallinn will celebrate this remarkable honour with Wagner's great opera "Parsifal".

Wagner stressed the singularity of the opera among other stage productions by prohibiting its staging outside the Bayreuth opera house for 30 years. In 1903, the court granted the Metropolitan Opera the right to stage the opera.

Experience Wagner's epic masterwork in the fascinating city of Tallinn.
