Parsifal – A Documentary Film
April 27, 2024 - 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The Society will have a documentary film presentation. The recent screening of Flying Dutchman Fire and Ice was quite a success so we will present another film by Werner Boote. This film is entitled Parsifal, Indiana Jones and Richard Wagner. Previously screened by the Society in 2004, this film traces the legend of the Grail from the Holy Land to Spain. The film also goes behind the scenes at the Vienna Staatsoper as they prepared Wagner’s Parsifal for a new production staged by Christine Mielitz. The film contains interviews with Donald Runnicles, Johan Botha, Thomas Quasthoff and Angela Denoke.
We convene at the JCC-SF, 3200 California Street, San Francisco, CA.
