Parsifal Vienna

Parsifal — Wagner at the Vienna State Opera

The definitive Easter opera experience: Klaus Florian Vogt — the world's most celebrated Parsifal — stars in Kirill Serebrennikov's visually arresting production, which explores Wagner's music as emerging from the protagonist's inner world. Axel Kober conducts a magnificent cast including Gerald Finley as the tormented Amfortas, Franz-Josef Selig as Gurnemanz, and Jennifer Holloway as Kundry.

Wagner's final masterpiece — his "sacred stage festival play" — is one of the most profound and spiritually overwhelming experiences in all art. Over five hours of transcendent music explore compassion, suffering, and redemption through the story of the "pure fool" who heals a wounded king. The Prelude, the Transformation Music, the Good Friday Spell, and the final scene of redemption achieve a spiritual intensity unmatched in Western music. A Bayreuth tradition performed at the Vienna State Opera during Holy Week.
