Jonas Kaufmann makes his Met role debut as the title character in Parsifal, conducted by Daniele Gatti and directed by noted film and opera director Fran�ois Girard in his Met debut. �Parsifal is not just an opera�it�s a mission. At the end of his life, Wagner was trying to reconcile all the aspects of his spirituality. It�s a sacred piece in the history of music,� Girard says. The cast also features Katarina Dalayman as Kundry, the mystical woman who tempts Parsifal; Peter Mattei in his role debut as Amfortas, king of the Knights of the Holy Grail; Ren� Pape in one of his greatest roles, the wise old knight Gurnemanz; and Evgeny Nikitin as the magician Klingsor.
