About This Item
The Wiener Staatsoper presents a Wagner classic staged by duo Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito, who showcase Lohengrin as a crime thriller with a twist. At the podium is Christian Thielemann, who more than proves his reputation as the Wagner-expert par excellence. On stage, David Butt Philip as the titular Lohengrin is a Inchheldentenor with radiance and staminaInch (Kleine Zeitung), while Malin Bystrom portrays an Elsa who might not be as innocent as the libretto suggests and convinces with Inchdramatic furoreInch (Der Standard). Anja Kampe sings her Ortrud Inchbeautifully, yet so expressively, with such dictionInch (Kurier) and Martin Gantner's Telramund is Inchflawless in it's precisionInch (News). / InchWhen it comes to Wagner, Christian Thielemann really is in a class of his ownInch (Der Standard) / InchThe choirs were a force to be reckoned with, and the orchestra proved it's outstanding quality in harmony with the great Wagnerian ThielemannInch (Salzburger Nachrichten)
