Parsifal
Placido Domingo heads the cast in this concert performance of Wagner's final opera, given last Thursday by the Royal Opera.
Described by Debussy as one of the most beautiful monuments ever raised to music, Parsifal has fascinated audiences since its
Bayreuth premiere on Christmas Day 1878. For over 30 years, it could be seen nowhere else. The story, rich in allegory, is based on a 13th-century German romance and contrasts the Christian community of the Knights of the Grail with the Moorish clan based in Klingsor's castle. The actions and responses of these two groups - and of Kundry who passes between them - provide an image of growing compassion and, finally, redemption.
Royal Opera House Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Heinz Fricke Acts 1 and 2 7.50 Much Too Much Blood
David Huckvale explores some unexpected connections between
Parsifal and Dracula which reveal
Wagner's fascination with vampires and the supernatural. He asks how this relates to the theories of his time about pure and impure blood.

Rve programmes in which Michael Kustow asks if live theatre will survive in a world being reshaped by the internet and the remote control, and what we would lose if it did not.
Little more than a century ago, machinery - in the shape of electric light - entered the theatre. Michael Kustow asks how theatre is shaping up to the new wave of digital technology, image manipulation and time-shift.
Robert Lepage, master of multimedia theatre, says theatre must find new forms - as painting did when faced with photography.
With Jez Nelson. Tonight's programme is a Cheltenham
International Jazz Festival special.
Jazz on 3's first BBC commission is a new piece from clarinettist and saxophonist Tony Coe , who performs the work with his big band -
Tony Coe and Co - together with Ellington arrangements. The Kent-born musician whose career began with the Humphrey Lyttelton band in 1957 has become one of the finest exponents of jazz improvisation, winning the prestigious Danish
Jazzpar prize in 1995 - the first non-American to do so. He has also contributed to the scores of several movies and is the featured tenor sax soloist in Henry Mancini 's Pink
Panther music. And in the studio, a selection of festival headliners discuss new releases and comment on festival events.
