Featured quotes

"The entire opera developed over time with divine calculation. By the end, audience members were on the edge of their seats and stood immediately in appreciation of such an exquisite production. LOHENGRIN was a catalytic example of art history in the making. The power of great art became the true power of all."
— Opera Wire

Part of the Metropolitan Opera Live Series: Wagner’s soaring masterpiece makes its triumphant return to the Met stage after 17 years. In a sequel to his revelatory production of Parsifal, director François Girard unveils an atmospheric staging that once again weds his striking visual style and keen dramatic insight to Wagner’s breathtaking music, with Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct a supreme cast led by tenor Piotr Beczała in the title role of the mysterious swan knight. Soprano Tamara Wilson is the virtuous duchess Elsa, falsely accused of murder, going head to head with soprano Christine Goerke as the cunning sorceress Ortrud, who seeks to lay her low. Bass-baritone Evgeny Nikitin is Ortrud’s power-hungry husband, Telramund, and bass Günther Groissböck is King Heinrich. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

"LOHENGRIN contains Wagner’s most demanding and rewarding choral writing, and the Met’s unrivaled ensemble performs it with unflagging power and superb control. A must-see." – Observer

"This is an opera about private passions and great social tremors; in each of the three acts, dazzled and reverent crowds keep the voltage high." – Vulture

"Five stars for LOHENGRIN — outstanding singing and indelible images in [the] new Met production." – Financial Times
