Opera di Roma: LOHENGRIN

New Production! Opera di Roma opened its season with Damiano Michieletto's new production of Wagner’s compelling romantic opera. Acclaimed tenor Dmitry Korchak sings the title role of the mysterious swan knight who comes to the rescue of the virtuous duchess Elsa (American soprano Jennifer Holloway in her Teatro Costanzi debut) after she is wrongly accused of murder - on the condition that she never asks his name. Ekaterina Gubanova sings the scheming Ortrud, and Tómas Tómasson her husband Telramund, who ensure Elsa won’t be able to resist temptation. Opera di Roma Music Director Michele Mariotti conducts the magnificent score, filled with ethereal strings and angelic choruses, including the famous Bridal Chorus.
