"No sooner had I stepped into the noonday bath than I was seized by such desire to write Lohengrin that, incapable of lingering in the bath for the prescribed hour, I leapt out after only a few minutes, scarcely took the time to clothe myself again properly, and ran like a madman to my quarters to put what was obsessing me on paper." If we can believe Wagner's recollection, it was at his spa treatment in Marienbad in 1845 that, "Lohengrin stood suddenly revealed before [him] in full armor." However it happened, ever since then, or more precisely, ever since the 1850 world première conducted by Franz Liszt, the heroic knight has stood before the world's opera audiences with uninterrupted steadfastness, and with more than six hundred performances there, Lohengrin remains Wagner's most popular opera at the Met. Returns to the repertoire in a new production, the performance promises a range of Wagner specialists: Christine Goerke, who has won acclaim as Brünnhilde in the HD broadcast series, along with Russian bass-baritone Evgeny Nikitin emanating power as Telramund, who has lost both his will and his honour.
