Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra: Petrenko's Parsifal

Sobre o Evento

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko perform works by Wagner, Beethoven and Weber — a concert that begins with a magic horn‐call and ends with the discovery of the Holy Grail itself. Hearing is believing…

“In this realm, time becomes space…” From CS Lewis to Terry Gilliam, Wagner’s Parsifal has been an inspiration to the very greatest creative artists. But if you don’t have the time (or inclination) for four hours of German opera, this extraordinary ‘Parsifal Symphony’ weaves all the visionary beauty of Wagner’s final masterpiece into one sumptuous orchestral tapestry. Vasily Petrenko loves it, and you will too. Certainly, it’s all a world away from the swashbuckling brilliance of Beethoven’s exuberant Fourth Symphony, the latest instalment in the RLPO's Beethoven series, and arguably the most entertaining! Weber’s fairy‐tale overture brings these two worlds together.
