ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
She herself is all elegance, but superficial gallantries leave her cold: Cundrîe, the mythical messenger from the Parzival legend and key figure in the quest for the Grail. The medieval specialists of Ala Aurea invoke the heroic maverick with text and music by Hildegard von Bingen, Wolfram von Eschenbach and Chrétien de Troyes.
