Wagner's Parsifal
Flora Willson introduces Opera North's production of Wagner's Parsifal from the Grand Theatre in Leeds, starring Toby Spence and Katerina Karn茅us, and conducted by Richard Farnes.
Following its highly acclaimed presentation of The Ring Cycle conducted by Richard Farnes, Opera North turns its attention to Wagner's final opera, Parsifal, his "Buhnenweihfestspiel" or "Festival play for the consecration of the stage", telling of a story set around the Holy Grail about compassion borne of experience. Flora Willson introduces the work from the Leeds Grand Theatre where the orchestra has been placed on the stage and the entire auditorium given over to the singers. Flora is joined by Martin Pickard for background and comment. The cast includes Toby Spence in the title role and Katerina Karn茅us as Kundry and the Chorus and Orchestra of Opera North are conducted by Richard Farnes.
