Parzival

On sait davantage aujourd’hui que le Christianisme et l’Islam, au Moyen-Age, ne se sont pas seulement affrontés, et que, s’affrontant, ils ne se sont pas seulement combattus. Des signes concordants et sûrs attestent qu’il y eut, entre leurs élites responsables, par-delà l’anathème et le combat, non pas seulement des échanges de surface ou de rencontre, mais une conjonction spirituelle véritable où l’intellectualité islamique joua, pendant des siècles, le rôle d’inspirateur et de guide. …

Parsifal (WWV 111) is an opera in three acts by Richard Wagner. It is loosely based on Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach, a 13th-century epic poem of the Arthurian knight Parzival (Percival) and his quest for the Holy Grail (12 ?.). Wagner first conceived the work in April 1857 but did not finish it until twenty-five years later. It was to be Wagner's last completed opera and in composing it he took advantage of the particular acoustics of his Bayreuth Festspielhaus. Parsifal was first produced at the second Bayreuth Festival in 1882. The Bayreuth Festival maintained a monopoly on Parsifal productions until 1903, when the opera was performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

'The Flying Dutchman', a romantic opera in three acts, was first performed in 1843. The story of the Dutch captain Bernard Fokke provided the material for the plot. Unlike many other sailors, he did not succeed in circumnavigating the Cape of Good Hope. He tried to defy God and the forces of nature but did not wrestle them down because he cursed them and has since been doomed to cruise the world's oceans forever with his ghost ship. Anyone who encountered this ship with a black mast and blood-red sails was destined for misfortune.
