Wagner - Parsifal

Description: Wagner - Parsifal [DVD] Product Overview Format: DVD July 31, 2001 The definitive documentary about Wagner's final opera is hosted by Placido Domingo, who also performs many of the excerpts from the opera. This is very good work of its kind, but potential viewers should know what to expect. It is not a performance of Wagner's Parsifal, which would take over four hours, but a 90-minute television documentary about the quest for the Holy Grail and Wagner's treatment of the subject--his last opera. It is a wide-ranging, fast-moving, multifaceted discussion, with selected scenes from Parsifal and brief allusions to other treatments of the Holy Grail (Indiana Jones, Monty Python), glimpses of Wagner's life, as played by Richard Burton, a look at the biblical roots and theological implications of the Grail legend, its medieval elaborations, and a horrifying study of the influence of Parsifal's racial attitudes on Adolf Hitler. The production's satisfactions are primarily intellectual; it can be watched with pleasure a few times and it will be useful in schools and libraries, but it will not bear repeated playing like a recorded performance. --Joe McLellan Details Genre: Music Video & Concerts, Musicals & Performing Arts/Classical Format: Multiple Formats, Classical, Color, NTSC Contributor: Placido Domingo Language: English Runtime: 1 hour and 30 minutes MPAA rating ‏ : ‎ Unrated (Not Rated) Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 3.2 ounces Media Format ‏ : ‎ Multiple Formats, Classical, Color, NTSC Run time ‏ : ‎ 1 hour and 30 minutes Release date ‏ : ‎ July 31, 2001 Actors ‏ : ‎ Placido Domingo Studio ‏ : ‎ Kultur Video Number of discs ‏ : ‎ 1 Best Sellers Rank: #125,334 in Movies & TV (See Top 100 in Movies & TV) #1,481 in Performing Arts (Movies & TV) #3,802 in Opera & Vocal (CDs & Vinyl) #4,991 in Special Interests (Movies & TV) Quality Products This will be shipped securely Returns must be within 30 days - item EXACTLY as it was sent.
