Richard Wagner
PARSIFAL
Bühnenweihfestspiel in three acts, in German, with Hungarian, English, and German subtitles
In Parsifal, his final music drama, Wagner embeds fear of the temptations of the world and sinful desires into a tale of redemption. The work is indeed a festival play for the stage rather than an opera. Many viewers – perhaps out of their own fears – criticised Wagner, who wrote both the libretto and the music, for what could be called the piece’s virtue and remarkable complexity, which is the personal tone with which he portrayed a religious theme combining notions of sacred and profane love. The visual world of this production directed by artistic director András Almási-Tóth was designed by Sebastian Hannak, who was also behind the look of Porgy and Bess and The Fairy Queen.
