Elsa Lohengrin Adversary Fells
EDITORS COMMENTS
Lohengrin and Princess Elsa: A Tale of Chivalry and Love Triumphant This image captures a pivotal moment from the legendary opera "Lohengrin" by Richard Wagner, first performed in 1850. The scene depicts the titular character, Lohengrin, a knight of the grail, in the act of defeating his adversary, the treacherous Ortrud and her husband, Landgraf Hermann. In the background, the ethereal figure of Princess Elsa, Lohengrin's beloved, watches in awe as her knight proves his unwavering loyalty and courage. The moment is filled with tension, as Lohengrin, clad in his shining armor, delivers a powerful blow that fells his opponent. The romantic and tragic opera, based on the medieval legend of Parzival, tells the story of Lohengrin, a knight who arrives at the court of Brabant to defend Princess Elsa against false accusations of witchcraft. He does so under the condition that Elsa will marry him if he succeeds in his mission. The opera explores themes of chivalry, honor, love, and the consequences of deceit. This photograph print, dated circa 1916, offers a glimpse into the rich history and timeless appeal of Wagner's masterpiece. The image, with its dramatic lighting and dynamic composition, transports us to the world of Lohengrin and Elsa, where love and honor reign supreme.
