Seems there are still tickets available. The conductor of one of my most favored Parsifal of modern times.The full Orchestra, Chorus and Soloists from The Mariinsky Opera (formerly known as The Kirov) bring a magnificent concert performance of Wagner's Parsifal to the Centre's stage this Spring.
Directed by one of the world's most celebrated living conductors, Valery Gergiev, the story is drawn from Arthurian legend and tales of the Holy Grail. Parsifal conjures up imagery and symbolism from an ancient time of mystery and myth and Gergiev's recording of the score with the Mariinsky was described as dramatic, red-blooded, vivid and luminous, adding a real Russian 'soul' to the beautiful music of Wagner's final opera. To hear them perform it live at the Centre in concert is a genuinely exciting prospect.
