The story of Parsifal, from which Act 
II is to be heard tonight, is briefly this. The Grail has been given into the keeping of Titural and his Knights. They have, too, the Holy Spear with which the soldier pierced our Lord's side upon the Cross. Titural has built a great castle, Montsalvat, to guard these sacred relics against a pagan world and especially against the magician, Klingsor, who, with the help of his Flower Ma.idens and the airch-enchantress, Kundry, endeavours to seduce the Knights. Amfortas, son of the old Titural, has been overcome by the magician's arts, and has been forced to leave in his hands the sacred Spear, with which he himself was sorely wounded when Klingsor seized it. Nothing can heal the wound save a touch of the Spear, and it has been prophesied to the Knights that only a guileless fool can avail to win it back for them. 
Parsifal, our English Sir Percivale, is the guileless Knight, who in the end overcomes Klingsor's magic and not only restores the Spear to Amfortas's keeping, but wins Kundry to abandon her sorceries and join the service of the Grail, to find death and forgiveness in the last mystic scene when Amfortas is healed, and the radiance of the Grail is shed again over its Knights. 
Act II tells of the fighting of Parsifal through to the enchanted castle of Klingsor, the magician whose powers have lured him there, the attempt of Kundry and her maidens to seduce Parsifal from his purpose, his resistance to her charms, and the collapse of the castle when Parsifal seizes the Spear and makes with it the Sign of the Cross.
