Парсифаль — это опера в трех актах, премьера которой состоялась 26 июля 1882 года Рихардом Вагнером во время второго издания Байройтского фестиваля. Композированная между 1877 и 1887 годами, "Парсифаль" воплощает возобновленный интерес Вагнера к теме Святого Грааля, который уже был выражен в его опере Лоэнгрин. На самом деле, сюжет вдохновлен романом Парцифаль Вольфрама фон Эшенбаха, который, в свою очередь, был взят из незаконченного произведения Персеваль, история Грааля Кретьена де Труа. История рассказывает о приключениях рыцаря Круглого стола, ищущего священную чашу, собравшую кровь Христа. Только «Alter Christus» («новый Христос») мог бы выполнить эту миссию, и после многих инициационных испытаний Парсифаль, наконец, может предстать как фигура, подобная Христу: искупитель, приносящий спасение всему человечеству.

In his opera Parsifal, Wagner tells a story of knowledge obtained through divine revelation. This thematic choice enraged philosopher Nietzsche (the author of the essay The Antechrist), who accused the composer of having miserably “prostrated to the feet of the cross.” But as Andrea Bedetti wrote in this regard: “In Parsifal, the religious allusions were not due to a christian dimension in a narrow sense, but to a mysterious and undefined dimension of the sacred.” Besides, Wagner himself had wondered about the role of art in his essay Religion and Art (1880), in which he proposed the recognition of a theological role to art, declaring: “It is up to art to save religion; by appropriating mythical symbols authenticated by religion itself, art highlights their ideal representation and shows their profound truth.” Thus, we could say that Wagner was not only trying to create a beautiful piece of art in Parsifal, WWV 111, but he also wanted to make Art a tool of knowledge of the sacred.
