Oliver Huckel retells Wagner’s last music drama in flowing English blank verse, following the Bayreuth interpretation. The innocent youth Parsifal comes to the castle of the Grail, where King Amfortas suffers from an unhealing wound; he is tempted in Klingsor’s magic garden by Kundry and must learn compassion before he can return.
