Lohengrin_Nun sei bedankt, mein lieber Schwan

[@MrMountainJohn]

Wow! I knew of the talent of Cheryl Studer but Paul Frey is superb as Lohengrin.

[@agnespellier9515]

What wonderful singers and staging!

[@JoëlGissy.poesie]

D'une excellence incroyable

[@lohsemichael6398]

Wow, was für eine Aufführung so sollte Bayreuth sein👍

[@gbronzich]

Some of the most beautiful music in the opera repertoire!

[@petermelian1346]

Lohengrin from beginnig to end enraptures my soul.

[@pierregarcia156]

Enfin une mise en scène digne de l'oeuvre !

[@angebomb]

"zieh durch die weite flut zuruck!" the most beautiful thing to sing! the whole thing!

[@herrbrucvald6376]

I adore 'Lohengrin'. Such a sublime, spiritual opera. The ending always moves me to tears..... This is a very fine production.

[@contraltissima]

die stimmlich wohl süsseste und mädchenafteste Elsa der Geschichte! wunderbar, so soll sie sein!

Thank you for uploading this, great production with great conductor and singers. By the way, Wagner is the best, and Lohengrin is the best of the best.

[@brigitteskottke192]

Himmlisch, wundervoll

[@tituscaesar]

Wagner himself wrote his own libretto, didn't he? He was so multi-talented. I love these words sang by Lohengrin: "Nun sei bedankt, mein lieber Schwan! Zieh durch die weite Flut zurück, dahin, woher mich trug dein Kahn, kehr wieder nur zu unsrem Glück! Drum sei getreu dein Dienst getan! Leb wohl, leb wohl, mein lieber Schwan!"

[@jameslevister9081]

Besides Amara, Studer has the gleam in her voice which aptly fits this character. Those two singers demonstrated strength in the voice which reflected the faith of Elsa. The gleam in their voices demonstrated the character's hope. Brava!

[@johnrondeau220]

Imagine being there? Kudos to whoever assembled the cast as near to perfect as one can get.

[@sabineb.5616]

I was lucky and I experienced an acceptable production of Lohengrin with great singers in 2005. The Festspielhaus and it's surroundings are wonderful! But unfortunately the quality of the more recent productions have seriously deteriorated 😮 I am not at all against modern interpreations, if they make sense and if they are compatible with Wagner's music. Werner Herzog is a director who loves and understands music. Music has always been a very important part of his movies. But many directors just want to produce cheap shock effects and they have no antennas for Wagner's music. Last year's Ring Of The Nibelungs (2022) was such a disaster that it has been seriouly contemplated to shelf it after just one season. What happened on stage had nothing to do with Wagner's texts and music anymore. Katharina Wagner is clearly not up to the job! It's simply not enough to be named Wagner!

[@Samir-du2qb]

One of the best version ever! Thank you! And long live bayreuth festspiele! 🔥💘

[@MrEW1985]

Unbelievable. Tears to my eyes.

[@godehardbrysch7905]

Tears to my eyes as well. This Scene proves what a demanding modern Interpretation should be about. It works with the technical devices of nowadays and still clings to Wagner's conception.

[@eduardobraivein8496]

Is the complete performance available?

[@harryhagan5937]

Why do so few of us know this? There is nothing like it in the world. 171 years old. Timeless.

Hermoso. Grande Wagner

[@jaykauffman4775]

I was there on opening night. The Werner Herzog production was gorgeous and that’s the way Lohengrin should enter in Act One Today we get a man wearing a white shirt carrying a toy swan. Totally against the music and drama

[@lungmike3595]

Göttlich

[@filipszyga7394]

Wow she is so good.

[@filipszyga7394]

Wagner is like :you hit with so much emotions in the same moment, and yet he gives you more at the same moment you think it's impossible

[@lohengrin1172]

Bonjour à toutes et tous, avec Rheingold c'est l'opéra que je préfère. C'est le rêve du romantisme allemand qui s'accomplit. On est plongé dans le rêve comme si on lisait un conte de GRIMM. Magnifique.

[@herrbrucvald6376]

I've just realized that this exchange between Lohengrin and Elsa has some DNA from Tamino's interview with the Speaker at the end of Act 1 of Zauberflote.....

[@epicemuchilz]

Die Grundzüge zu Lohengrin hat Wagner u.a. an der Lochmühle im Tal der Wesenitz in Mühlsdorf einem OT von Lohmen/Sa. Verfasst. Dort steht heute das größte Wagnerdenkmal Deutschlands, geschaffen von Prof. Guhr. Liebevoll gepflegt vom Heimatverein Mühlsdorf. Zusammen mit einem Besuch von Schloß Graupa und dem Wagnermuseum ein muß für jeden Wagnerianer.

Either you 'get Wagner or you don't. I don't. Pretentious Myth-making. But this excerpt is well sung.

[@TeachUBusiness]

I hate to say this publically but Kaufman is nothing in comparison to Frey in this opera. Kaufman has that awful throaty, nasal sound. I hear this and wonder what the big deal with Kaufman is.

[@chesterinthefield]

Kaufman is nothing in comparison to Frey. But Frey is nothing in comparison to Aureliano Pertile or Franz Völker kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIfZiHqOpqysrcU

[@finylvinyl66]

Disagree. Kaufmann is a far greater tenor than Frey and is a near ideal Lohengrin.
