The new production of Parsifal at the Munich Festival was greeted last night with vociferous booing.

The hostility was targeted at Georg Baselitz’s stage design and at the director, Pierre Audi.

Kaufmann in the title role, with  Christian Gerhaher as Amfortas and Nina Stemme as Kundry, were loudly acclaimed, as was the conductor, Kirill Petrenko.
