Matti Salminen

Narrated by Plácido Domingo, this 90 minute film includes scenes from the Parsifal concert filmed at the Ravello Wagner Festival, explores the history of the grail tradition and how it has been represented in various works, and, details the background in which Wagner wrote his grail opera, Parsifal.

Intertwining music of purity and beauty with the conventions of musical comedy, this opera is an exploration of man's search for truth and his confusion between the forces of light and dark. Mozart's final operatic legacy is a great work of the Enlightenment era.
