{"product_id":"wagner-parsifal","title":"Wagner - Parsifal","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThis is very good work of its kind, but potential viewers should know what to expect. It is not a performance of Wagner's Parsifal, which would take over four hours, but a 90-minute television documentary about the quest for the Holy Grail and Wagner's treatment of the subject--his last opera. It is a wide-ranging, fast-moving, multifaceted discussion, with selected scenes from Parsifal and brief allusions to other treatments of the Holy Grail (Indiana Jones, Monty Python), glimpses of Wagner's life, as played by Richard Burton, a look at the biblical roots and theological implications of the Grail legend, its medieval elaborations, and a horrifying study of the influence of Parsifal's racial attitudes on Adolf Hitler. The production's satisfactions are primarily intellectual; it can be watched with pleasure a few times and it will be useful in schools and libraries, but it will not bear repeated playing like a recorded performance. --Joe McLellan\n\nProduct Description\n\nThe definitive documentary about Wagner's final opera is hosted by Placido Domingo, who also performs many of the excerpts from the opera.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005NGAC\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00005NGAC.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Placido Domingo\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dream Books Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41598282760250,"sku":"DBV.B00005NGAC.N","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/6011\/0138\/files\/B00005NGAC-0.jpg?v=1786852495","url":"https:\/\/shop.dreambooksco.com\/products\/wagner-parsifal","provider":"Dream Books Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
