Wagner's Parsifal
Wagner's final music drama of sex, lust, forgiveness and compassion in a performance from the Bayreuth Festival starring Georg Zeppenfeld, Andreas Schager and El墨na Garan膷a.
Wagner's great final music drama in which he explores the opposing realms of lust and compassion - Sex and the Pity. Parsifal was the only work written expressly for the acoustics of his theatre in Bayreuth. The score abounds in the blended sonorities and rich harmonies of Wagner's late style. In his final masterpiece, Wagner entered the realm where drama and religion become one.
Martin Handley presents in conversation with Wagner expert Chris Walton.
