The Staatsoper Berlin’s Lohengrin, under Calixto Bieito’s direction, orchestrates a striking contrast between a lyrical fairy-tale forest and a stark, percussive courtroom, amplifying themes of love, jealousy, and faith. Roberto Alagna’s soaring tenor, Vida Miknevičiūtė’s expressive phrasing, and René Pape’s resonant bass create harmonic depth, while Matthias Pintscher’s dynamic conducting shapes the production into a richly textured, dramatic interpretation of Wagner’s masterpiece.
