Parsifal
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Achim Freyer's visually powerful realization of Richard Wagner's stage festival play Parsifal is itself a fascinating synthesis of the arts. The director, stage and costume designer shows us a world of colors and symbols that emerge from the spirit of the music. Wagner's farewell to the world revolves around the central idea of compassion, compassion for other people and for nature. The use of Christian symbols mixed with Buddhist and philosophical ideas is to be understood symbolically. Wagner's last score takes us on a journey into the innermost depths of existence and musically points far into the future.
