Inhalt: |
A mythicaI performance from Ia Monnaie - BruxelIes ParsifaI is a strange and enigmatic work. At the end of his life, did Wagner wish to ceIebrate asceticism, which he himseIf had never practised? Did he fall upon his knees before the Cross, as claimed by Nietzsche? And what does the secret society of knights based on pure blood signify, desperateIy waiting for the saviour to regenerate it? What is the true nature of the opposition between the worIds of Klingsor and the Grail? What can Parsifal tell us today? In his artistic wiII and testament, Wagner condenses his moraI idea of the worId and returns to the roots of love and religion - to the very heart of art according to him. With the participation of conductor Hartmut Haenchen who is passionated by the score, ltalian stage director Romeo CasteIIucci proposes an originaI reading of this briIIiant work and explores the essence of Wagnerian KunstreIigion in a different Iight. |
