Parsifal received twelve performances this season.
This was the first staged performance of Parsifal outside Bayreuth, presented by general manager Conried over the objections of the Wagner family, which had taken legal action to prevent the production. The program noted that "The whole production [was] under the supervision of" Heinrich Conried. Willy Harden, one of the Esquires, was sometimes listed as Willy Haupt.
Credits have been revised for the Flower Maidens during the five Parsifal seasons presented by Heinrich Conried. Entries now reflect the listings in the program.
