I’m always amused that brides, especially in America, want Lohengrin & Elsa’s march played at their weddings. I wonder what the reaction would be if they were told that the happy couple splits up within minutes of this joyful moment 🤣 Btw, you got the words mixed up at Elsa’s “In lichter waffen,” but 99.9% of people would never notice! 17:36
1. What is Lohengrin's only weakness? 2. What is the real reason Telramund went to kill Lohengrin in the third act? 3. For what reason did Lohengrin have to marry Elsa? 4. When was the duel between Lohengrin and Telramund? 5. If it is said that Lohengrin's victory in the fight is based on "God's judgment", then what is "God's judgment" based on? 6. Why does Ortrud think that Elsa will suffer her own consequences? 7. Lohengrin can refuse anyone's question, but why can't he refuse Elsa? 8. Where does Lohengrin's divine power come from? Where does the power to keep a secret come from? 9. Lohengrin accused Elsa of betrayal because of being bewitched, so what specific aspects of Elsa's bewitching are manifested? 10. What is the only reward that Lohengrin is willing to sacrifice for Elsa?
Found this for the March 18, 2023 performance by the Met. Wonderful help. Thanks so very much for an excellent, helpful presentation!
