Considered one of the most profound and philosophical operas of Richard Wagner, who died soon after his debut, “Parsifal” has nearly 5 hours and two breaks in the assembly of the seventeenth Amazonas Opera Festival (FAO). Sunday at 17h, has his second recitation. Check out a summary of the synopsis before the grand composition:
A long orchestral prelude precedes the rise of the curtain, after which we saw on stage, the following scenario: In a forest – located in the mountains of northern Spain Gothic – in the vicinity of the Castle “Montsalvat” Gurnemanz, a Knight of the Grail, and two squires are sleeping. Gurnemanz, after waking up and awaken young people do with them, morning prayers, after which orders them to turn up in the nearby lake, to prepare the medicinal bath of King Amfortas, who, for years, is involved in illness of a wound that never closes. Arrive a few knights and squires of the Grail, whose conversation is interrupted by the arrival Gurnemanz abrupt Kundry a very strange woman, whose face flushed arouses amazement. She hands Gurnemanz a jar with a balm, designed to relieve the pain of Amfortas.
FOOL
When questioned by Gurnemanz about the origin of the strange vial she says brings Arabia. Amfortas arrives, carried in a litter, accompanied by his escort. Says, recalling a divine promise that he had a future miracle, by which it would be cured of his illness, and whose responsibility would be some “innocent fool”, “wise by virtue of compassion”, but then shows little hope with against such a possibility, and expressed a deep desire to die, it Gurnemanz replica, featuring the new balm, brought by Kundry, who responds harshly to thank you for Amfortas. This is ultimately led to healing bath. Gurnemanz are on the scene and some squires, which comply Kundry with mistrust, interrogate it, receiving evasive answers, criticize it vehemently, and are finally reprimanded by Gurnemanz, which makes them remember how much this woman is useful and helpful to the Knights of the Grail, “after all, who but she can always bring news of our brothers who fought in distant regions?” The squires, however, insist on their dislike of strange creature.
MAGO
The conversation evolves to the point of being mentioned Klingsor, a ‘magician of darkness, “who wanted, once – narrates Gurnemanz – become one of the Knights, but his attempt was denied by the Brotherhood, which had considered morally incapable of investiture . Dissatisfied with the refusal castrara Klingsor himself, thinking that “becoming chaste” could be admitted. Again – continues narrating Gurnemanz – was refused, because for the Knights was worthless someone become a eunuch, because the worth was indeed pure personality. Continuing the story, Gurnemanz says Klingsor, spiteful, discovered, finally, that his act of self-harm could provide you with the power of magic, and he, in effect, the developed, in an attempt to avenge the Brotherhood of the Knights Templar (Grail), which started making, erecting, magically, a castle and enchanted garden, approached to the “flower maidens” who were, according Gurnemanz, women “infernal beauty”, which seduced and lured Templar less strong, making them effective their lovers, so they became captives in magical castle Klingor.
BELA
It turns out, however, that the King himself Grail, Amfortas, was one of the victims of the magician therefore an assault on the castle – since his father, Titurel, was too old, and had given him the investiture of King – Amfortas there had addressed, bearing the Holy Lance, however, “a certain very beautiful woman” seduced the King, giving the chance Klingsor expected to steal the “Holy Grail Launches” wounding with itself, the crotch of Amfortas who was now condemned to that painful wound and always open, and the moral agony of having left seduce, becoming responsible for the loss of the Spear. The narrative Gurnemanz comes finally to the episode in which Amfortas, in a moment of deep and fervent prayer, come see before their eyes the inscription in luminous letters: “Sage of compassion, the innocent fool. Wait for it, because I chose it. “
SWAN
Right now, however, the quiet meeting is interrupted by cries of distress and painful Knights and Squires, announcing that someone mortally wounded one wild swan. As this forest animals are sacred and it is forbidden to harass them, are all angry with the bad done, whose head is soon identified and brought before Gurnemanz. Everyone wants to punish him, but Gurnemanz comes to interrogate the stranger, wondering if it was him that killed the swan. The boy confirms casually, it Gurnemanz replica with a long, professorial and poignant rebuke, which arouses the remorse of the stranger, that breaks away from the bow and spear, with which it had committed the offense. Gurnemanz then it begins to inquire about the place where he came from, “Who was your father” and “who had indicated the way,” he had come to the Domains Grail. In all questions, the stranger knows only answer “do not know” (“Das weiß ich nicht.”).
STUPID
When asked about his name, replies that “has had many, but not remember any.” Gurnemanz then amazed at the size of the stupidity of man, asks him to say anything to know: “after all, at least one thing you must know.” The stranger says he has a mother, and her name is Herzeleide (which means “Saddened Heart”). Gurnemanz asks who won the bow, with which the wounded swan, the stranger says he himself has done. Observing the appearance of the boy who “seems noble and well-born,” Gurnemanz demonstrates strangeness in fact his mother failed to provide conditions to learn to use “best weapons”. Herein, breaks Kundry, who kept a long silence, to explain, sounding agitated and frantic, the boy’s mother, the “stupid”, created him away from weapons, fearing that he had the same sort of father – Gamuret – that died in combat. Young confirms and says that, done right, one turns riders, mounted on fine horses; told them I wanted to be one of them, continuing the narrative, says the young man who “they laughed and rode away.”
DEATH
Since then he moved away from home and on the loose, constantly being threatened by enemies occasional but always winning with his bow. Kundry intervenes again and says, “Yes, many felt the force of that young man.” This asks her “who were those who had feared,” to which she replies: “Bad.” Surprised, the odd question : “So who is good?” In response Gurnemanz, that “his mother was good; her that the right would be suffering from his absence,” Kundry clarifies once again abruptly: “His pain ended: it is dead. “Strangely, indignantly asks in fury:” Who said that? “” I, “replies Kundry,” I passed by, and saw her die. ” The boy advances and assaults with violence, being prevented and scolded by Gurnemanz. Kundry, then, although it has been abused by him, takes him water to the forehead to relieve him of almost fainting you just have. Gurnemanz praises this act of selflessness and kindness, but Kundry replies that “never does good.” All she wants is “home”. And just at this time, it begins to be surrounded by irresistible sleep, which tries to escape, but relents by recognizing that it is a futile effort.
INNOCENT
Herein, Gurnemanz notes that the King is already coming from the bath, and tells the stranger that you want to drive it “the Grail”. Stupidly, the boy asks “who is the Grail”; Gurnemanz responds cryptically, but states that “if he was chosen for the Grail, the Grail receive imperishable knowledge”; go because, following the procession, and the strange comments that “are walking slowly but it seems that has come long distance “, it Gurnemanz adds:” You see, my son, which here becomes the Space Time “(ie:” Here space and time are the same thing “). When you finally arrive at the threshold of the Great hall of the Grail, Gurnemanz says: “It is now well aware, and let me see if you’re a fool and a pure, that knowledge will be given you.” We deduce therefore that Gurnemanz supposed that strange could be the “Innocent Fool”, promised by God to Amfortas as their Savior.
