Wagner's last opera Parsifal is a work of intense humanity. It narrates the story of a troubled community ultimately healed through one man's realization of the power of compassion. Created in honour of the bicentenary of Wagner's birth, Stephen Langridge's new production, with designs by Alison Chitty, distils with intellectual fibre and visual eloquence' (Financial Times) the timeless and universal nature of the Parsifal story. The cast includes great Wagnerian tenor Simon O'Neill in the title role. René Pape as Gurnemanz is immaculate' (Guardian), Gerald Finley as Amfortas is compelling' (Telegraph) and Angela Denoke as Kundry is dramatically electrifying' (Telegraph).

The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House under Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano give a ravishing rendition of Wagner's sublime score.
