On 13 January 1882, Richard Wagner brought his magnum opus "Parsifal" to completion, marking the culmination of his illustrious career.

This final opera, a profound exploration of redemption and compassion, was conceived as a festival play for the consecration of the stage at Bayreuth.

"Parsifal" seamlessly blended Wagner's revolutionary musical innovations with a deep philosophical narrative drawn from Arthurian legend and Christian mysticism.

Its premiere in Bayreuth later that year solidified Wagner's legacy as one of the most influential composers in the history of Western music.
