Synopsis

Parsifal

---

Richard Wagner's mystic masterpiece Parsifal at Staatsoper Berlin staged by Dmitri Tcherniakov and conducted by Daniel Barenboim.

Last Wagner's opera, Parsifal is a medieval epic story marked by Christian, Buddhist and esoteric references. It is about redemption and renewal, but this new production by Russian director Dmitri Tcherniakov adds a jarring note: revenge.

This Festival Play for the Consecration of the Stage is similar to a Medieval epic, a blend of metaphysical dreams and obscure battles with constant spiritual references. Besides Barenboim, this new production is also performed by an international cast of excellent singers: Andreas Schager, Anja Kampe, Wolfgang Koch, Rene Pape, Tomas Tomasson and Matthias Holle.
