The Metropolitan Opera: Lohengrin
Synopsis
Wagner’s soaring masterpiece makes its triumphant return to the Met stage after 17 years.

Soprano Tamara Wilson is the virtuous duchess Elsa, falsely accused of murder, going head to head with soprano Christine Goerke as the cunning sorceress Ortrud, who seeks to lay her low.
