Parsifal

That's why it's easier to give the long dead a wider berth — I'm not paying for antisemite Richard Wagner's lavish lifestyle if I go see a production of "Parsifal."

He will devote more time to opera — Wagner’s “Parsifal” in concert at the Paris Philharmonie and a staged “Tristan und Isolde” in Seoul are planned — and hopes to lead more Bruckner.

Davis portrays his protagonist’s internal journey by echoing the ethereal textures of Richard Wagner’s “Parsifal,” with a hint of minimalism.

Booing directors has become standard at Bayreuth, but the dissenters were only a small segment for Jay Scheib’s “Parsifal” this year, dominated by AR glasses and a theme of global energy collapse.

As a traditional production, this “Parsifal” was nothing special; it felt palpable that most of the staging’s resources were going into developing the AR.
