Tiroler Festspiele - Richard Wagner: PARSIFAL

Bayreuth, 1882: Turmoil in Wagner's wordy wondrous sacred play. The "Parsifal" is too short! To ensure the stage magic coincides with the music, a few measures are missing. "What, now I should compose meter by meter!", grumbles Wagner, who would be amazed at how today's technical refinements alleviate the timing stress.
