Since Pavarotti’s Character in “Parsifal” is supposed to come across as a “Callow Youth”, I would assume that, in the nineties, that persona would have long since fled Luciano, in spite of his great voice, hahaha.

THIS production has Minimalist post-apocalyptic sets, is populated by men in identical 20th Century Business suits, and the backdrop is a giant mirror in which the audience can see themselves reflected back.

Perhaps they were having a big sale at the Gentleman’s Wearhouse.

Sounds like a Patrice Chereau production of the "Ring".

Pavarotti was not in the Nineties production of "Parsifal". I was merely quoting his manager's view of the production, in that he was in the audience that night.
