I missed the Live in HD cinema transmission of Parsifal. (I'm planning to attend the encore presentation.) But I got
to the car and home in time to listen to quite a bit of the performance. If you missed the radio
broadcast too, we have about four days more to catch it on-demand from (interestingly) BBC Radio 3. Click here to
listen to Parsifal from the Met. It's complete with entertaining (or annoying, depending on your mood) intermission features.
