Synopsis
A profound philosophical meditation on compassion and reconciliation, this transcendent rendering of a medieval knights heroic quest for the Holy Grail returns to the big screen in François Girards celebrated production, a thoughtful and intrepid staging, full of striking imagery (The New York Times). Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts a cast of Wagnerian superstars, including tenor Piotr Beczala in the title role, mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca as the enigmatic Kundry, baritone Peter Mattei as the ailing Amfortas, bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as the sorcerer Klingsor, and bass Jongmin Park as the wise Gurnemanz.
