From Staatsoper Unter den Linden: Lohengrin

13 DEC 2020: Richard Wagner's “Lohengrin” live from Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin on Sunday, 13 December on arte.tv/opera.

Love + truth or unquestioning civil obedience? What is Lohengrin really asking for when he tells Elsa that she must never ask his name or where he comes from?

This production at the Staatsoper Berlin will be Calixto Bieito’s first staging of a Wagner opera. Sonya Yoncheva and René Pape will be joined on stage by French tenor Roberto Alagna in his long-awaited debut as the Knight of the Swan.

The Livestream of Lohengrin is part of the third ARTE Opera Season, a European Opera Season that ARTE presents in partnership with leading opera houses from all over Europe since 2018 - available worldwide and with subtitles in six languages.
