Published: March 15, 2023, 2 p.m.

Lohengrin is a pivotal work in Wagner\u2019s stylistic development, showcased by his tremendous ability to represent the psychology of his characters through music. Lohengrin returned to the Met stage this season, in a brand-new production by director Franc\u0327ois Girard, whose previous work includes the Met\u2019s stunning production of Parsifal in 2013. On today's episode of The Metropolitan Opera Guild Podcast, we are joined by Guild lecturer John J. H. Muller as he explores the history and music of this epic tale of the mysterious swan knight.
