Lohengrin (2020)

Renowned Spanish opera and theater director Calixto Bieito presents this sweeping romantic opera at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, offering his distinctive vision of the story. Elsa von Brabant is accused of killing her brother, yet no one attempts to clear her name in this baffling situation. Isolated and misunderstood, she meets a man who vows to defend her – if she trusts him completely and never learns his name or where he comes from. But an unforeseen turn of events leads Elsa to betray her promise. The revelation of the truth brings her brother back, revealing a divine heritage, but not without devastating consequences for Elsa.
