	Lohengrin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In some German Arthurian literature, Lohengrin is the son of Parzival (Percival).
		Lohengrin first appears as "Loherangrin", the son of Parzival and Condwiramurs in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival.
		The story was picked up and expanded in the late 13th century Lohengrin by a certain "Nouhusius" or "Nouhuwius" who changed the character's name and tied the romance's Grail and Swan Knight elements into the history of the Holy Roman Empire.

	LOHENGRIN - LoveToKnow Article on LOHENGRIN
		The story of Lohengrin as we know it is based on two principal motives common enough in folklore: the metamorphosis of human beings into swans, and the curious wife whose question brings disaster.
		Lohengrin's guide (the swan) was originally the little brother who, in one version of " the Seven Swans," was compelled through the destruction of his golden chain to remain in swan form and attached himself to the fortunes of one of his brothers.
		The consecrated wafer shared by Lohengrin and the swan on their voyage is one of the more obvious means taken by the poet to give the tale the character of an allegory of the relations between Christ, the Church and the human soul.

		The Lohengrin displays tremendous dynamics and a superbly broad bandwidth, yet, at whatever power level, maintains fine coherence and delicate character usually associated with high-performance monitors.
		Although the Lohengrin seems to be a four-way loudspeaker (4 different transducers), it is actually a quasi-three-way loudspeaker that behaves acoustically like a two-way speaker.
		The Lohengrin cabinets are constructed according to proprietary asymmetrical reinforced technology that enhances the sonic homogeneity and musical image stability.

	Lohengrin (Wagner) - Sources and Meaning
		According to the tradition followed by Wagner, it is in the keeping of Parsifal, the lord of the sacred palace of Montsalvat, whose son Lohengrin is. Lohengrin is one of the earthly champions of the Grail, and the tradition has thus a prominent place in Wagner’s drama.
		Its knights (Lohengrin and the rest) are sent to shed some of that love on earth by redressing wrongs and fostering righteousness.
		Lohengrin, he says, "sought a woman who should trust in him, who should not ask how he was hight or whence he came, but love him as he was, and because he was whate’er she deemed him.

	Lohengrin - 1985-86; Solti, Domingo, Norman, Randová; Wiener Staatsoper
		The references to the divine and to Wagner's later opera "Parsifal" are, appropriately, very subtle and are not made into symbols which distort the sheer dramaticism of the music itself.
		Plácido Domingo's Lohengrin is a quiet, personal Lohengrin which I frankly think is the most capable in years.
		Her voice finds a wobble here and there, it must be admitted; but by and large, her antipathy for both Lohengrin and Elsa (and her husband) are evident; her voice crackles with sparks and her hatred of everyone (including, one would surmise, herself) gives life to her 180 degrees - from Lohengrin effort.

	History of 'Lohengrin' - Richard Wagner
		Wagner first read his "Lohengrin" poem in 1845 to a private circle of friends, among whom were Schumann, Hiller (the painter), Robert Reinick, Gottfried Semper, and others.

	Art in America: Lohengrin. - Metropolitan Opera House, New York, New York - theater reviews
		Lohengrin, like the Flying Dutchman, who's also an "ask-me-no-questions" kind of guy, really does seem like the paradigm of the difficult, withholding man. Often interpreted as a reflection of Wagner himself with his first wife, Minna, Lohengrin has a lot of rules and regulations bound to drive any woman to distraction.
		It was a performance of Lohengrin in Moscow, in 1896, that convinced Kandinsky to become an artist in the first place.
		Their decision to trick Elsa into asking Lohengrin the question she has been forbidden to ask ("who are you, and where do you come from?") puts a kind of spell on the rest of the opera.

		She promises, but almost immediately, Frederick and his sorceress wife, Ortrud (Dunja Vejzovic), conduct a whispering campaign to raise doubts to Elsa about what her husband-to-be might be hiding from her, and why she is not trusted as a wife.
		Lohengrin's first vocal, which is delivered facing the back of the stage, is barely audible at all, again underlining the poor decision to film a live performance.

	Wagner Operas -- Robert Wilson's Lohengrin -- New York Magazine Review
		Wilson’s early original work, most famously Einstein on the Beach, was undeniably creative, innovative, and influential, but it is an aesthetic that sits uncomfortably with nineteenth-century repertory opera, a genre that this mixed-media man has been cultivating with increasing frequency as his prestige has grown and his invention flagged.
		As Lohengrin, Ben Heppner mostly looks befuddled by it all, especially when he must slay the hapless Telramund with a rude glare.
		On opening night it took him two acts to place his voice properly, but when he finally arrived at his long narration, Heppner was producing enough golden tenorial tone to make him the swan knight of any Elsa’s dreams.
