\"Festspielhaus<\/p>\n

MUNICH \u2014 Bayerischer Rundfunk<\/a> confirmed on Thursday it will video-stream the premiere of Uwe Eric Laufenberg<\/a>\u2019s new staging of Parsifal<\/em> at the Bayreuth Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2014 when: 9:57 a.m. EDT on July 25, 2016
\n\u2014 where: www.br-klassik.de\/concert<\/p>\n

Laufenberg is reportedly intent on exploring the religious aspect of Wagner\u2019s 1881 B\u00fchnen-Weih-Festspiel<\/em>, not without reference to Islam.<\/p>\n

Watching at home may have advantages. Attendees on Bayreuth\u2019s Gr\u00fcner H\u00fcgel<\/em> face new security procedures for this festival opener, and indeed all 2016 dates, obliging earlier arrival than in past years. The German chancellor won\u2019t be among them.<\/p>\n

Saxon conductor Hartmut Haenchen<\/a>, taking over from a less practiced colleague, makes his Bayreuth debut with this opera, which he led in a filmed<\/a> Brussels run five years ago directed<\/a> by Romeo Castellucci.<\/p>\n

Elena Pankratova<\/a> sings Kundry, Klaus Florian Vogt<\/a> the naive hero; Ryan McKinny<\/a>, Georg Zeppenfeld<\/a> and Gerd Grochowski<\/a> impersonate Amfortas, Gurnemanz and Klingsor.<\/p>\n

Coming from a dedicated broadcaster, the Internet data for listening and viewing should be both stable and detailed.<\/p>\n
