Post-Parsifal Grail Party

March 3, 2013 - 12:30 pm

Updated February 5, 2013

Party details, sign-up and directions are now available

Many Wagner Society Members will be attending HD broadcast of the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Parsifal on March 2nd 2013. After such a mind-blowing, powerful experience, we thought that perhaps some of our members would like to gather and share their thoughts and make a special event out of this unique opportunity.

WSNC member Anne Symanovich has arranged access to the large community room at her residence.  Anne’s condominium is near Lake Merrit in Oakland, a site which is a short walk from BART. The HD should conclude at about 3:00 p.m. and we will schedule the event so that people who wish to attend are able to make their way over to Oakland. Some may wish to considering attending an HD in one of the many East Bay theaters which offer Met HD showings – nearer to the party.

We will have a pot luck party and all members are invited to join in, sharing and pondering the larger questions posed by Parsifal. There will be a small fee of $5 to attend, which will be used to buy supplies, wine, beer and other beverages.

See the File Attachment below for the details, directions and sign-up information. We hope to see you there! You are able to print out the attached document file.
