    parsifal

    8. Seduced in the garden

    The nameless youth enters Klingsor’s magic garden, full of entrancing women. Kundry approaches, disguised as a young woman, and addresses him by name: Parsifal. She seduces him by reminding him of memories of his childhood. Photo: Richard Kaufmann, Ken Howard/Metropolitan Opera
