IN the Sacred Festival Drama Parsifal, Wagner's last work, the composer treats of the legendary relic of the Eucharist, the Holy Grail (the cup which was used at the Last Supper, and in which the Saviour's blood was received at the Crucifixion).
In this extract we have the solemn entry of the Knights as they gather to partake of the Love Feast, when the Grail is unveiled.
