Wagner’s strangest opera – live!

Wagner’s final great masterpiece Parsifal  returns to Covent Garden in an inventive new staging by Stephen Langridge but you can see it live at the Wellesley on Wednesday, Dec 18^th for just £10, a saving of over £200 on seats at the Royal Opera House
A young man ignorant of everything, including his own name, arrives at the Kingdom of the Holy Grail. Is he the ‘pure fool, enlightened by compassion’, who, it has been prophesied, will purify the kingdom?
It took Wagner nearly forty years to write Parsifal, an opera that music critic Lucy Beckett calls “the strangest and most inward of all Wagner’s works”.
