These Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original.More than any other work in the operatic repertory, Parsifal demands a personal commitment and response. As the culmination of half a lifetime's preoccupation with the issues of compassion and redemption, it has profound philosophical implications. As the ultimate example of Wagner's idiom it is an extraordinary musical structure. The unique quality of the subject inspired a wholly original musical conception. Here are four very different essays designed, in their variety, to set you thinking about it what it means to you. The translation was commissioned for the first production by English National Opera in 1986.Contains:A Very Human Epic Mike AshmanRecapitulation of a Lifetime Dieter BorchmeyerExperiencing Music and Imagery in 'Parsifal' Robin Holloway'Parsifal': Words and Music Carolyn AbbateDiscussions into the Dramaturgy of 'Parsifal' Gerd RienäckerThematic Guide Lionel Friend'Parsifal' poem by Richard Wagner'Parsifal' English translation by Andrew PorterDiscography Cathy PetersonBibliography… (altro)

This is a nice, German-language e-book of Richard Wagner's libretto for his last opera Parsifal. Although the opera itself is very long the libretto is actually a fairly short read.
The story revolves around the knights of the Holy Grail who have managed to lose the holy lance that was used to stab Jesus. It was taken by an evil sorcerer across the mountains from their castle. The sorcerer has surrounded himself with beautiful maidens who try to seduce any of the knights that try to retrieve the lance. Seducing them will mean they have broken their vow to remain chaste while serving as Grail knights.
When Parsifal appears he is described as a simpleton or even as a fool. He is, however, capable of reducing the seductions and is able to retrieve the lance and conquer the evil sorcerer. The attempted seduction of Parsifal is echoed later with Sir Galahad in Monty Python' and the Holy Grail. ( )
