OK...I HAVE to ask.

What is your opinion of the latest Met Production of “Parsifal”?

The music is amazing, but I would have preferred the medieval pageantry of the original to this latest incarnation of the Bizarro Planet”.

And what’s with the conductor wearing a Mao Jacket....so 70’s! LOL.

JMO...what’s yours?

I haven't seen it. The last Met "Parsifal" I saw was back in the Nineties. Luciano Pavarotti's manager summed up that production perfectly.

"The opera started at eight. At midnight I checked my watch and discovered it was only eight thirty."
