One positive test in the Vienna opera ensemble has wiped out rehearsals for a new Parsifal, directed remotely by the Russian dissident Kirill Serebrennikov.

The intended premiere on April 1 in an empty auditorium has been postponed to a future date.

The rest of the cast includes Elina Garanca (Kundry), Ludovic Tézier (Amfortas), Georg Zeppenfeld (Gurnemanz), Wolfgang Koch (Klingsor).
