The première of Parsifal in major opera houses was not until 1914, after the Bayreuth Festival had maintained the exclusivity of the opera since its opening in 1882. It was a huge success, in part because the opera score was to become one of the most momumental and inspiring scores in music history. As well, its turbulent theme was associated with the Great War and post-war era. Parsifal arrives after years of wanderings through the wilderness to save the Temple of the Grail, encapsulating the emotional climate in Europe at the time, a period of great sacrifice and hardship, collective disorientation and the desperate search for a leader.

Parsifal,  the innocent, compassionate "guileless fool", embodies the spirit of redemption. This is the starting point for the staging by German director Claus Guth. One of the most important names in contemporary staging,  he made his début at the Teatro Real with this most acclaimed production. The action takes place in  a  dilapidated hospital for war-wounded soldiers. Inspired by the sanatorium in The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, it embodies the trauma and despair following World War I, when hopes for a new leader led to disaster.

‘Komm, komm, holder knabe!’ from Parsifal by Wagner

With an eye on Thomas Mann 's The Magic Mountain and historical knowledge of old Europe as the basis of the production, stage director Claus Guth unravels one of the most exciting and applauded scores by the great Richard Wagner. The premiere of Parsifal

in the great opera houses from 1914, after the expiration of the exclusive rights that Richard Wagner had left to the Bayreuth Festival since its premiere in 1882, it had an enormous impact. Not only because of the discovery of one of the most monumental and exciting scores in the history of music, but also because of a disturbing theme in the midst of the Great War and postwar period. That Parsifal that arrived after years of impatient waiting to save the Grail temple synthesized the emotional climate of Europe at the time, of great sacrifices and hardships, collective disorientation and desperate search for a leader. Parsifal, the innocent educated in compassion, embodies the mirage of redemption. This is the starting point for the staging of Claus Guth, one of the great names in contemporary stage direction, which debuts at the Real with one of its most acclaimed shows. The decaying hospital for war wounded in which the action takes place, inspired by the sanatorium in Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, embodies the traumas and discouragement that followed the First World War, whose hopes placed on a new leader will lead to a new disaster.
