Met Opera: Parsifāls

A deeply philosophical work of reflection on compassion and redemption, this noble story of a medieval knight’s heroic quest for the Holy Grail returns to the big screen in François Girard’s acclaimed production, described as “a thoughtful and daring staging, full of vivid images” (The New York Times). At the podium is Yannick Nézet-Séguin, leading an outstanding star cast: tenor Piotr Beczała in the title role, mezzo-soprano Elina Garanča as the mysterious 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.
