As I hope you know by now, this years Parsifal from Bayreuth (Stefan Herheim's production for those catching up) will be simultaneously broadcast live in cinemas. Sponsored by Audi, it has now been confirmed that Katharina Wagner will direct - and present - special interval features which take viewers "behind the scenes".
Alas, still no news as to whether this will be available in the USA, but Germany, Switzerland and the UK are confirmed.
Should you not be able to get to Bayreuth or a cinema it will also be broadcast live on ARTE TV
