Wagner LOHENGRIN | Heerrufer

The icing on the cake for our Wagner devotees: Lohengrin. Opera Vlaanderen presents a new reading of Wagner's most stylistically advanced romantic opera by top American director David Alden. Both a highlight and a glorious farewell to the genre. Lohengrin also focuses on Wagner's favorite theme of redemption, but this time the emphasis is on its illusion.

A legend tells that one day a wonderful hero arrived in the Scheldeland, pulled in a boat by a swan. He helped exonerate a persecuted from guilt and married a young girl. But when he asked him who he was and whence he came, he had to say goodbye to her and leave, leaving everything behind.

By situating the Lohengrin legend in a historical context - the German Empire in the 10th century - Richard Wagner was able to give an unmistakable social dimension to fairy-tale material. The misunderstood Lohengrin, who demands unconditional love and trust, represents the metaphysically driven artist whose 'mission' must be understood intuitively.

Director David Alden , who is known for his virtuoso treatment of choral and mass scenes, is the perfect figure to shed light on the political and social dimensions of Wagner's opera. After his debut with Pelléas et Mélisande in 2017—2018, the Argentinian maestro Alejo Pérez once again guarantees a passionate musical direction. Lohengrin is a co-production with Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London.
