An NCPA-The Metropolitan Opera (New York) Presentation

Richard Wagner was the complex, controversial creator of music-drama masterpieces that stand at the centre of today’s operatic repertory. He was an artistic revolutionary who reimagined every supposition about music and theatre. He also developed the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk, meaning “total work of art” that combines music, poetry, architecture, painting and other disciplines, a notion that has had an impact on creative fields far beyond opera. Wagner’s soaring masterpiece Lohengrin makes its triumphant return to the Met stage after 17 years. The sequel to Parsifal unveils an atmospheric staging that weds striking visual style with keen dramatic insight into Wagner’s breathtaking music.
