Wagner’s Lohengrin returnerer til the Met scenen, etter et fravær på 17 år, med denne atmosfæriske nye oppsettingen av François Girard.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin dirigerer en rollebesetning ledet av tenor Piotr Beczała i tittelrollen som den mystiske svaneridderen. Sopran Tamara Wilson er den dydige hertuginnen Elsa, som er falskt anklaget for mord, i møte med sopran Christine Goerke som den lure trollkvinnen; Ortrud. Bassbaryton Evgeny Nikitin er Ortrud’s maktsultne ektemann; Telramund, og bass Günther Groissböck er King Heinrich.

“Tremendous … ★★★★★ … Full of thrilling moments … Outstanding singing and indelible images … Tenor Piotr Beczała was Lohengrin … His voice has a natural warmth … and plenty of projection and stamina … Soprano Tamara Wilson captured Elsa’s naive sincerity … Christine Goerke is perhaps the great contemporary Wagnerian soprano, and she was exciting to hear throughout … Oscar-winner Tim Yip’s set designs are stunning.” 
—FINANCIAL TIMES

“Beczała’s delivery was dramatic, eloquent and, most of all, humane … Wilson’s ample soprano alternated effectively between innocent spaciness, steely resolve, and moments of radiance … The biggest, plushest voice onstage belonged to Goerke, who turned Ortrud’s poisonous manipulations into the opera’s main event … Powerful turns.”  
—THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

“Beczała sings with uncanny serenity and command in the title role … A shining musical performance … Beczała performs with total security and elegance … The Met’s chorus, in one of the most difficult works in its repertory, was both stentorian and evocative … Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts this grand score with a sure sense for the elasticity of pace that makes Wagner’s scenes breathe … Superb singers.” 
—THE NEW YORK TIMES (Critic’s Pick)
