Lohengrin (2022)

Wagner’s soaring masterpiece premiered at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow on the eve of the war in Ukraine in 2022 and made its triumphant return to the Met Opera stage after 17 years in 2023. Drawing on the visual vocabulary that was so effective in Parsifal, this companion piece used a combination of high speed photography and sleek visual effects to create a cosmic journey for the ages.
