As he prepared to bid farewell to the Company with our concert staging of Parsifal in summer 2022, Leader of the Orchestra of Opera North David Greed sat down with Music Director Garry Walker to reflect on his record-breaking career, the role of a concertmaster, and some personal highlights of his 44 years on the job.

With excerpts from performances from the Orchestra and Chorus of Opera North.

Swiss-Italian dj, composer, producer and mix engineer Parsifal Light is a part of the
international electronic music scene. Born into a family where art and music were
omnipresent, Parsifal's career began with classical piano lessons, before moving on to
more urban and electronic genres.
In his early career as a DJ, Parsifal won the title of DMC France vice-champion in 2008
and ITF Italian champion in 2009. Thanks to his studies in “Contemporary Art, New
Media and Communication", he earned a master's degree at the University of Paris 8
and the Sorbonne Nouvelle, presenting his thesis on "Music in 20th Century Art".
For over 15 years, Parsifal Light has been constantly evolving his compositions with the
sole aim of conveying his emotions through club music. Drawing inspiration from basic
elements ranging from Luigi Russolo and John Cage to the "science fiction" ambiences
of Brian Eno and Vangelis, he uses the sounds of House and Hip-hop machine drums to
create a personal musical universe where vintage synthesizers blend with contemporary
sounds.
Signed as an artist and dj to Warner Music Latin and US, Parsifal Light has also
collaborated with some of the world's most important independent labels, and his music
has been played by leading international DJs such as Solomun, Tale Of Us, Damian
Lazarus, Acid Pauli, Agoria, Whitesquare and David Meyer.
Today, Parsifal Light continues to develop his artistic projects, as well as teaching
electronic music, Ableton Live and music technology at Berklee College of Music.

Wagners »Weltabschiedswerk« gibt bis heute Rätsel auf. Vielschichtig sind die darin enthaltenen Bedeutungsebenen – und vielfältig sind auch die Interpretationen, die die letzte Partitur des Bayreuther Meisters erfahren hat und immer noch erfährt.

Audioeinführung zu »Parsifal« von Richard Wagner

Goodbye Tannhäuser est évidemment une référence à "Blade Runner" auquel le morceau emprunte un passage du célèbre monologue final de Rutger Hauer. A la fois mélancolique et épique, sombre et plein d'une énergie brute, "Gooddbye Tannhäuser" est une invitation à l'exploration et la découverte sous toutes ses formes. 

Goodbye Tannhäuser is obviously a reference to "Blade Runner," from which the song borrows a passage from Rutger Hauer's famous final monologue. At once melancholic and epic, dark and full of raw energy, "Goodbye Tannhäuser" is an invitation to exploration and discovery in all its forms.

Goodbye Tannhäuser

Tout cela est-il vraiment sérieux?
