No less
than 37 years, more than
half of Wagner's life,
passed from the first
idea of the opera
'Parsifal' to its world
premiere in Bayreuth in
1882, it being Wagner's
last stage work before
his death on 13 February
1883. The music publisher
Schott from Mainz paid
100,000 marks to acquire
'Parsifal', and the fact
that 'Parsifal' has
become part of the
repertoire of all major
music theatres of the
world proved the
publisher right. This
opera is performed every
year, especially on Good
Friday, always with the
same great success with
the audience. Every music
lover witnesses the
grandeur of this highly
significant work.Apart
from the libretto, this
edition contains
introductory commentaries
of Kurt Pahlen who also
adds information on the
compositional structure
and context to the
musical as well as
external and internal
dramatic action of the
opera. A short synopsis
and a brief outline of
the genesis bring the
work into relation with
the composer's entire
oeuvre and life, thus
offering a comprehensive,
richly illustrated
introduction.
