Family concert: children’s opera “Knight Parceval”
Henrik Albrecht’s children’s opera Ritter Parceval deals with the fascinating question of how a little boy becomes a knight. Especially when no-one believes he has what it takes to be a hero. Not his own overprotective mother Herzeloyde, the evil magician Klingsor or the virtuous Gurnemanz. In an end result that is moving, fascinating and daring, Albrecht sets the development of the young Parceval to music based on motifs from Richard Wagner.
