Review: THE END OF THE NIGHT at Park Theatre

Review: LOHENGRIN at Royal Opera House
By Stuart King Saturday, April 23 2022, 23:30
During the Medieval period, the Germanic speaking nations of Europe were a hotbed of invention for folkloric tales often involving heroes with supernatural powers, chivalry and tests of faith. Richard Wagner used material from one such epic 15th century poem Lorengel as the major source for the libretto when composing his 3-Act opera Lohengrin set originally in 10th century Antwerp.
