Description:

Sándor Kónya delivers one of the most poised and elegant portrayals of Lohengrin. His voice, both lyrical and secure, floats effortlessly through Wagner’s score, embodying the knight's nobility and mystery with remarkable ease.

Grace Hoffman, widely known for her interpretations of Fricka, surprises here with a fiery and commanding Ortrud. She leans into the role's venom and intensity without sacrificing vocal control, resulting in a thrillingly malevolent presence that still shimmers with glamor and beauty.

Jutta Meyfarth, as Elsa, struggles at times to capture the character's youthful vulnerability, with a tone that can be uneven and occasionally unrefined.
