Parsifal

About

A profound philosophical meditation on compassion and reconciliation, Wagner’s transcendent rendering of a medieval knight’s heroic quest for the Holy Grail returns in François Girard’s celebrated production, a “thoughtful and intrepid staging, full of striking imagery” (The New York Times). Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts a cast of Wagnerian superstars, including tenor Piotr Beczala in the title role, mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca as the enigmatic Kundry, baritone Peter Mattei as the ailing Amfortas, and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as the sorcerer Klingsor.
