Wagner's Lohengrin
Yannick Ne虂zet-Se虂guin conducts Wagner's Lohengrin at the Metropolitan Opera House. Piotr Becza艂a sings the title role with Tamara Wilson as Elsa, his doomed lover.
Wagner's Lohengrin, with a stellar cast led by tenor Piotr Becza艂a in the title role and the soprano Tamara Wilson as Elsa von Brabant.
Based on a German medieval romance, the noble and pure knight Lohengrin is sent to defend and protect Elsa, and as the couple fall madly in love, a dark conspiracy based on treason and jealousy threatens to undermine them, with tragic consequences. Wagner named Lohengrin a 'Romantic opera', and significantly he developed on it his first attempts to write a through-composed music drama, innovating the genre and changing it forever.
Presented by Debra Lew Harder, in conversation with Ira Siff.
