Young Parsifal wanders the earth. He meets Amfortas, Knight of the Grail, whose bleeding wound cannot be healed. He meets Kundry whose kiss opens his eyes to man's desire and misfortune. Guardian angels descend to the Earth with a sacred sword. Can humankind be set free from misery?

For director Christof Loy, a celebrated name in the world of opera, the complexity of corpreal love is central in his staging of Richard Wagner's five-hour opus. Abstaining or indulging - that is the question! Royal Opera celebrates the bicentennial commemoration of Wagner with the story of Parsifal, which will be the new king of the weakened Grail Society. Parsifal was first performed in 1882, and the libretto is based in part on Wolfram von Eschenbach Bach's medieval heroic poem Parzival from the middle ages. The religious motifs in Parsifal encompass Catholic mysticism, the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the compassion of Buddhism. As Parsifal we hear Michael Weinius, one of Europe's most sought-after tenors, and the role of Kundry is sung by World renowned soprano Katarina Dalayman who, during the spring of 2013, sang the same role at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
