In Brabant, Elsa is accused of murdering her brother. A mysterious knight arrives by swan-drawn boat, defeats her accuser and agrees to marry her on the condition that she never ask his name or origin. Ortrud and Telramund undermine Elsa’s trust, and she eventually asks the forbidden questions. The knight reveals himself as Lohengrin, a Knight of the Grail, and must leave; he restores Elsa’s brother Gottfried from swan form, and Elsa dies as he departs.
Parsifal, a youth ignorant of his past, enters the realm of the Grail knights after killing a swan. He witnesses the suffering of their king Amfortas, whose wound came from the stolen Holy Spear. In Klingsor’s enchanted garden, Kundry’s kiss awakens Parsifal’s understanding of Amfortas’s pain; he resists her seduction, retrieves the Spear and returns years later. Parsifal heals Amfortas, becomes the Grail king and redeems Kundry.
