Parsifal - Indiana Jones und Richard Wagner
Parsifal – Indiana Jones and Richard Wagner is a documentary on the new production of Parsifal at the Vienna State Opera in April 2004 staged by Christine Mielitz and directed by Donald Runnicles. It led director Werner Boote to Spain, where he went in adventuresome search of the real Holy Grail precisely at Eastertide, when the Spanish nights are brightened by impressive processions. In the fortified monastery of San Juan de la Peña he finds Wagner’s Gralsburg, he meets the “Caballeros del Santo Caliz”, who on Maundy Thursday, the day of the Last Supper, reveal him the relic of the Last Supper chalice. This new form of opera documentary presents opera for television and embraces two lines of treatment: Today’s access to historical material and Wagner’s opera.
