An operatic narration of an unsettled community in Wagner's last opera Parsifal that is finally healed through compassion. 2014 DVD version is a production by Stephen Langridge designed by Alison Chitty. It filters the worldly nature of the Parsifal with 'intellectual fibre and visual eloquence' (Financial Times).
With the excellent Simon O'Neill in the title role and immaculate René Pape as Gurnemanz, Gerald Finley as Amfortas is ‘compelling’ (Telegraph) and Angela Denoke as Kundry is ‘dramatically electrifying’ (Telegraph). The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House with Antonio Pappano directing, the whole cast give an exquisite rendition of Wagner's magnificent score. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
