Parsifal: Teatro Real
About the Event
Be swept up in the emotional and musical turbulence of one of Wagner's most monumental operas, sung by a starry cast including Anja Kampe, Christian Elsner, Detlef Roth, and Evgeny Nikitin .
Wagner's score foreshadows the emotional climate in Europe after the Great War — a circumstance Claus Guth's production draws on, finding in Parsifal and his quest the spirit of redemption, after a period of great sacrifices and hardships, collective disorientation and the desperate search for a leader.
