Richard Wagner: Lohengrin – Live from the Bayreuth Festival

Peter Hofmann Lohengrin | Karan Armstrong Elsa | Elizabeth Connell Ortrud | Leif Roar Telramund | Siegfried Vogel König Heinrich | Bernd Weikl Heerrufer |
Chor & Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele
Woldemar Nelsson (conductor), Götz Friedrich (stage director)

Richard Wagner’s three-act opera Lohengrin is characterised by the composer’s romantic vision of the individual’s struggle for freedom under an oppressive rule. The title role is particularly suited to the dramatic and musical talents of Peter Hofmann, whose adoption of Wagnerian roles is received with well-deserved praise. He leads an exceptional Wagnerian cast, including Karan Armstrong, Elizabeth Connell and Siegfried Vogel. The deep psychological insights of this production ensure that this Lohengrin remains one of the most impressive records of Götz Friedrich’s timeless work as a director.
