This production made me not hate Parsifal. The staging is interesting, the pacing is nice, and the tempi are not so slow. I did chuckle at the blinged out corpse of Titurel. Love Waltraud Meier as always. I think Kundry is her best role. Looking forward to the other two acts.
Nobody loves an unconventional production of Parsifal more than I do, but this came across as the product of some adolescent goth given a lot of money to spend at the local Halloween store
Meier und Salminen klasse Stimmen. Aber dieses Dirigentchen Nagano, viel zu schnell. Geht doch nichts über einen Parsifal von Levine oder Sinopoli dirigiert.
It's always such a pleasure to see Waltraud Meier as Kundry!
She is brilliant!
Supreme Nagano
1:00:35 to 1:10:08 has got to be one of the most sublime passages of music mankind has ever created
Wunderschön! Vielen Dank und LG aus Montreal, Qc, Canada
20 years now from this iconic stage
Super! Thank you!

The Titurel looks ghostly coming directly from Kurosava`s "Run"?
Aha. Encino Man as Parsifal. That's exactly what ol' Richard had in mind....
Parsifal survit à toutes les vicissitudes, son affreux choeur malingre..
et la prise de son pas renversante ..

Sie sollten nachlesen, was Wagner über das richtige Tempo gesagt und geschrieben hat, dann würden Sie über Levine und Sinopoli den Kopf schütteln.
Mono sound. :(
