Bask in its serene beauty, lyrical power and amazing athleticism. You’ll agree — it’s one of the top violin concertos of all time.
Drawing on his tremendous expertise in opera, Johannes Debus leads your Kansas City Symphony in an orchestral suite from Richard Wagner’s final opera, Parsifal. Its noble story unfolds with music of sensuous refinement and transcendent expressiveness. Follow Parsifal’s transformation from a naïve youth into a hero with a holy mission of redemption. A rapturous end to a glorious season!
