Résumé du livre
New insights are given on the background to staging Tannhnuser and Parsifal. Sections on the illustrations to and parodies of Parsifal extend previous research, with special emphasis on the almost forgotten stage-designer Ludwig Sievert and early reception of the opera. The inclusion of a satirical text and TrevelyanOCOs parody reveal some of the less serious reception."
