Why don't the audience of some theaters applaud until the very end of Wagner's opera Parsifal? Detailed answer
Directory / Big encyclopedia. Questions for quiz and self-education Did you know? Why don't the audience of some theaters applaud until the very end of Wagner's opera Parsifal? The audience warmly welcomed the premiere production of Wagner's Parsifal in Bayreuth, but the composer, wanting to set the audience for a serious perception, asked the artists not to bow after each act, only at the very end. The audience was embarrassed and even stopped applauding, which embarrassed Wagner himself. But it was too late - to avoid applause before the completion of "Parsifal" became a tradition in Bayreuth. At one performance, Wagner, sitting in the auditorium, himself shouted: "Bravo!", to which he heard his neighbors hiss. In some theaters, such as the Metropolitan Opera, the audience maintains this tradition, in others they applaud as usual. Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger
