PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT LOHENGRIN

The content on this page was translated automatically.

While the audience should by no means expect Lohengrin, the fair maiden Elsa longingly awaits the rescue of this very white knight, whose name is the program, but must not be questioned under any circumstances. And because, as expected, the prohibition of questions provokes precisely those questions, the director not only questions the legitimacy of the heroic savior in shimmering armour in her final production, but also our own idea of German "high culture".
Full of verve, the team throws 395 pages of orchestral score out of the window and doesn't mourn it for a second. The Wagnerian monumental sound shrinks to a few quotes that desperately search for their former hero. Instead of this lost hero, an Elsa emerges who gradually fights for her maturity with all the means of pop music.
