Parsifal

In Germanic mythology, one of the knights who sought the Holy Grail; the father of Lohengrin.

Parsifal

Music drama, or Bühnenweihfestspiel (‘sacred festival drama’), by Richard Wagner (libretto by composer), produced in Bayreuth at the Wagner Festival Theatre, on 26 July 1882. In the story, Parsifal recovers the sacred spear from the evil magician Klingsor and returns to the Kingdom of the Grail to heal the wounded Amfortas. The ‘wild woman’ Kundry, whom Parsifal had met earlier, is also redeemed but then dies.
