Richard Wagner’s anti-semitism is one of the defining characteristics of the legendary composer. And now it is being taken to task in an off-Broadway play asThe Directors Company gets ready to showcase the world premiere of “My Parsifal Conductor” by Alan Leicht.

Previews for the show are currently underway, but Opening Night is slated for Oct. 11, 2018 with performances running through Nov. 3.

Per a press release, the show tells the story of the famed German composer and his wife Cosima finding “themselves in a moral, political and musical dilemma when King Ludwig II of Bavaria insists that Hermann Levi, the son of a rabbi, conduct Wagner’s final masterpiece, ‘Parsifal.’ Cosima spends her last night on earth reliving her past and contemplating her after-life. In this surprisingly comedic and imaginative take on the real life events, Hermann Levi causes Cosima & Wagner to try to control their anti-Semitic views.”

The show will star Eddie Korbich as the famed composer, Claire Brownwell as his wife Cosima, Geoffrey Cantor as Levi, Carlo Bosticco as Ludwig, and Logan James Hall as Nietzshe, among others.

All performances are set to take place at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater. Tickets for the show can be purchased here.
