Swan cruise: Lohengrin at Covent Garden
David Alden’s new production for The Royal Opera, referencing fascist Germany, is drab, but there are musical compensations.
Wolfgang Wagner's swansong: Lohengrin in Prague
Clad in sulphurous yellow with beaded jet shoulder pads she looked well able to vanquish Lohengrin in single combat with the swish of her cloak.
Homoki’s Lohengrin in Lederhosen in Vienna
Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s impressive conducting, Tomasz Konieczny’s tortured Telramund and the Chor der Wiener Staatsoper save this performance of Lohengrin from becoming an ignominious swan song.
Anna Netrebko's dream Elsa in Dresden Lohengrin
Anna Netreboko chose to perform her first Elsa in Dresden with Christian Thielemann conducting. It was a remarkable performance never to be forgotten.
