Title: Avoid this, it ought to be burned!
Review: While Domingo certainly knows this opera, he could no possibly know what he was getting involved in.The producers present an unbalanced and distorted view of the themes of Parsifal, especially Redemption through Compassion, by obsessing over Hitler's response to Wagner's works. No one here bothers to mention that the Nazis BANNED Parsifal from all German opera houses, including Bayreuth, in 1939 because they couldn't reconcile its message with their own. But there is an awful lot of blather about purity and blood which I dare you to show me in the opera's text. I've translated every word myself, including the stage directions. Even if you can't read German, there are plenty of good translations available, and a few good books, too, about this opera. Read something, and leave VHS taped garbage like this to the landfills.
