Thorleifur Örn Arnarsson (right) is no stranger to the works of Richard Wagner. At the Staatsoper Hanover in 2023 he directed Wagner's last work, PARSIFAL. Here is a trailer of that production:

 

In his fifth year as the Music Director of the Czech Philharmonic, Semyon Bychkov (left) returns to Bayreuth. Previously, maestro Bychkov led the Bayreuth Orchestra and Chorus in a revival of Uwe Eric Laufenberg's Parsifal in 2019.
