Ok...the verdict.
“Parsifal”, FIVE hours later.
The music was magnificent, the singing, heartfelt and spellbinding.
The costumes were just plain stupid.
The sets, in spite of their technical brilliance (At one point it looked as though the entire stage was flooded with three inches of BLOOD!), were just plain butt-ugly.

Maybe it’s just as well I didn’t know it was on.
