Parsifal" is Wagner's last opera composed exclusively for the Bayreuth Festival Theatre.Conductor Pablo Elas-Casado made his Bayreuth debut with this work, and his performance was praised along with a fine group of singers including Andreas Schager, Elina Galancha, Georg Zeppenfeldt, and Derek Welton. Stage director Jay Scheib quoted an expression from Wagner's letter to King Ludwig II: "Wagner was a great admirer of Parsifal. He presents 'Parsifal' as a 'farewell to the world,' a work that confronts the question of how hope can exist when it is no longer possible to live. Bayreuth found its heroine in Elina Galancha. ...She plays the role of Kundry with great grace and remarkable vocal clarity."-Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung "Andreas Schager has always been a sincere Parsifal. He was passionate and very youthful, Derek Welton was sad as Anfortas, Georg Zeppenfeldt was a melancholy Grunemannz, and Jordan Shanahan was a blocked-up Gringsol.Heras-Cassad's conducting was lively, moderately paced and steady."--The New York Times BD is available in three audio formats, including Dolby Atmos.
