Vienna premiere casts of Parsifal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Viennese premiere cast of Parsifal lists all those involved in the new productions of Richard Wagner's Parsifal that have taken place at the Vienna State Opera since its first performance in Vienna in 1914 .

background

Although the Vienna State Opera failed in 1862/63 when attempting the world premiere of Tristan und Isolde , traditionally significantly more Richard Wagner performances take place each year in Vienna than in Berlin, Bayreuth, Dresden, Hamburg or Munich. This is due on the one hand to the interest of the Viennese public, on the other hand to the repertoire system of the State Opera, which makes it possible to keep all ten main works by the composer ready to play.

Traditionally, there is considerable overlap between the Viennese and Bayreuth casts , as the ensemble of the Vienna State Opera had a number of singers who were and are essential for the Bayreuth Festival. The overlap is explained by the fact that both the Bayreuth Festival and the Vienna State Opera endeavor to hire the best cast worldwide. There is no direct competition as the Vienna State Opera is closed during the Bayreuth Festival season (in July and August).
