it's kind of an operatic day
Tannhaeuser und der Saengerkrieg

Your opera is a romantic drama of the struggle
between earthly passion and spiritual
longings.

Ok, who is Parsifal??
Your opera is a contemplative drama of wisdom gained through compassionate suffering.
Obviously opera is not my cup of tea!! lol
I think Parsifal is an opera about a knight in search of the Holy Grail, but I could be wrong.
That sounds about right...me, on the search for the elusive or non-existent!! lol
"Parsifal" is Percival, the knight who eventually found the Grail, along with Sir Galahad.
In some versions, he is the son of King Pellinore; in others, the son of Sir Gawain.
(I'm a huge King Arthur/Camelot fan. As perhaps you can tell.
;-)
)
Would that be Galahad the pure in the Monty Python movie?
(I was majorly into Arthurian legend many years ago, but now all I'm left with is "Spamalot.")
I have absolutely no knowledge of opera but this is where I'd be -
Der fliegende Hollaender
Your opera is a stormy drama of a Curse broken by a Love faithful unto Death.
What the heck is this? LOL
That's the Flying Dutchman, cursed to sail around the seas, I think.
Sir Galahad is the son of Sir Launcelot - "le chevalier mal fet" - and Elaine, the daughter of Pellas.
That's a whole story right there....
I got Tristan und Isolde, which I must say is vaguely worrisome!
I tested the same opera, Emily.
(And taking the test, I kept thinking about Mark Twain's quip that "Wagner's music isn't as bad as it sounds"...even though I happen to like Wagner's music anyway.)
