Amfortas, Oberhaupt der Gralsritter, hat den heiligen Speer an den Zauberer Klingsor verloren. Dabei hat er eine Wunde empfangen, die sich nicht schließen will.

Solange er regelmäßig seines Amtes waltet und den Gral enthüllt, kann Amfortas nicht sterben. Kundry, ein geheimnisvolles Doppelwesen, dient den Rittern; sie beschafft Medizin zur Linderung seiner Schmerzen, die jedoch wenig ausrichten kann. Da taucht Parsifal auf. Er hat das Sakrileg begangen, im heiligen Bezirk einen Schwan zu schießen. Gurnemanz weist ihn zurecht. Doch dann kommt ihm ein Gedanke: Ist der junge Draufgänger vielleicht der verheißene »reine Tor«, der der Gemeinschaft Erlösung bringen könnte? Dazu müsste Parsifal zunächst »durch Mitleid wissend« werden. In Klingsors Zauberreich trifft er erneut auf Kundry, die hier als verführerische Frau erscheint. Kann er Klingsor besiegen und ihm den Speer wieder abnehmen, durch den einzig sich die Wunde des Amfortas heilen ließe?

Richard Wagner schrieb sein letztes Werk für das von ihm entworfene Bayreuther Festspielhaus, das er 1876 mit dem Ring des Nibelungen eröffnet hatte. Er führt die im Ring erprobte Leitmotivtechnik fort, jedoch auf andere Weise. Hatten in der Tetralogie wie in früheren Musikdramen oft gewaltsame Auseinandersetzungen in dramatischer Zuspitzung die Handlung bestimmt, entfaltet sich das Geschehen in Wagners »Weltabschiedswerk« in einem anderen Zeitmaß. Die Musik transzendiert die pseudoreligiöse Setzung und dringt in Bereiche vor, die bis dahin kein Komponist auf die Opernbühne zu bringen gewagt hatte.

Deutsch

Amfortas, leader of the Knights of the Grail, was wounded when he lost the Holy Spear to Klingsor, a wound, that won’t close.

As long as he does his duty and reveals the Grail, Amfortas can’t die. Kundry, a two-faced individual, serves the knights; she procures medicine to alleviate his pain, but it has little effect. Then Parsifal appears, committing sacrilege by shooting down a swan in this hallowed region. Gurnemanz rebukes him, then starts wondering: Could the young hothead be the promised »innocent fool«, who could bring salvation to their community? If so Parsifal would have to become »knowing through compassion« first. He meets Kundry, now a seductive woman, in Klingsor’s magic realm. Can he beat Klingsor and take the speer from him, the only thing that can close Amfortas’ wound?

Richard Wagner wrote his last work for the Festspielhaus he designed in Bayreuth, which opened in 1876 with his Ring des Nibelungen. He continued using Leitmotivs, as in the Ring, but differently. Whereas in the tetralogy, as in earlier operas, the plot was often influenced by violent conflict and dramatic moments of truth, the events in Wagner's »taking leave from the world piece« unfold in a different time frame, the music transcending the pseudo-religious setting by penetrating worlds no composer ever dared bring to the operatic stage before.
