In a co-production with Houston Grand Opera and Grand Théâtre de Genève, Richard Wagner's Lohengrin arrives at the War Memorial Opera House in David Slater's vision of the Romantic work, in collaboration with production designer Robert Innes Hopkins and lighting designer Simon Mills. Tenor Brandon Jovanovich makes his role debut as the titular mysterious knight and, in her first appearance with the Company, soprano Camilla Nylund is his bride, Elsa von Brabant. The cast also features Kristinn Sigmundsson as King Heinrich, Gerd Grochowski as Telramund and Petra Lang as the sorceress Ortrud. This "thrilling" (San Francisco Classical Voice) engagement marks former music director Nicola Luisotti's first assignment conducting a Wagner opera. San Francisco Opera Chorus Director Ian Robertson prepares the "massive and powerful" (The Mercury News) chorus. Lohengrin is performed in German with English subtitles and has an approximate running time of 3 hours and 40 minutes.
