Met Opera in HD: Parsifal
Richard Wagner
Description
Tenor Piotr Beczala, mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča and baritone Peter Mattei lead a cast of Wagnerian superstars in this quest for the Holy Grail.
A profound philosophical meditation on compassion and reconciliation, this transcendent rendering of a medieval knight's heroic quest for the Holy Grail returns to the big screen. François Girard's celebrated production is a "thoughtful and intrepid staging, full of striking imagery" (The New York Times).
Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts a cast of Wagnerian superstars, including tenor Piotr Beczała in the title role, mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča as the enigmatic Kundry, baritone Peter Mattei as the ailing Amfortas, bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as the sorcerer Klingsor, and bass Jongmin Park as the wise Gurnemanz.
