In Lohengrin\, every moment ties into the story telling and ties into what the singers are doing. That to me is incredibly meaningful.” – Thomas Lausmann (Met Opera Director of Music Administration)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The reason why the Met Orchestra in particular is so incredibly flexible is because we're always listening to that voice; there's something about the breath and the tone quality\, especially with Wagnerian voices\, that we're trying to follow.  There's never a dull moment in opera; there's always something wonderful happening.” – Jessica Phillips (Clarinet)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaritone Brian Mulligan (Herald)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoprano Tamara Wilson (Elsa)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTenor Piotr Beczała (Lohengrin)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTenor Errin Duane Brooks (Nobleman)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBass Günther Groissböck (King Heinrich)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector François Girard discusses his new production of Lohengrin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeffrey Swann\, NYU Steinhardt – piano faculty\, concert pianist and lecturer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatherine Syer on Lohengrin: Blending Art & Life\, Onstage & Off\n\n\n\n\n\nYouTube Links: \n \n \n \n  \nDownload Lohengrin Seminar Program \n
