Wagner's Lohengrin is the March 18, 2023, Saturday matinee broadcast, airing at noon, 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, as the 12th of the 2022-2023 Met Opera season's lineup of 24 Saturday matinee opera broadcasts.
Nineteenth-century German Romantic era composer and librettist Richard Wagner (May 22, 1813-Feb. 13, 1883) sourced his Romantic opera Lohengrin from a collection of epic poems by medieval German lyric and narrative poet Wolfram von Eschenbach (ca. 1170-ca. 1220), according to the opera's 2022-2023 season Program Note (page 38C) by Christopher Browner, Senior Editor for Marketing and Communications at the Metropolitan Opera. Wagner also consulted 12th- and 13th-century variations of the legend of the enigmatic Swan Knight, who travels in a swan-drawn boat.
The world premiere of Wagner's Lohengrin was held at Deutsche Nationaltheater und Staatskapelle Weimar (DNT) in Weimar, Thuringia state, Central Germany. Romantic era Hungarian composer, conductor, music transcriber and virtuoso pianist Franz Liszt (Oct. 22, 1811-July 31, 1886) conducted the medieval-themed opera's premiere, Wednesday, Aug. 28, 1850. Occurring on the 101st anniversary of the birth of German polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Aug. 28, 1749-March 22, 1832), Lohengrin's premiere participated in Weimar’s 1850 Goethe and Herder festival, according to religion and popular culture historian, weekly music columnist and writer Sophia L. (Lucia) Deboick in "A Year in Music: 1850 -- when national anthems came to the fore," posted June 15, 2019, to her weekly music column in The New European. The festival honored two of the city's famous transplant residents, Goethe and his friend, German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder (Aug. 25, 1744-Dec. 18, 1803), who had settled permanently in Weimar in 1775 and 1776, respectively.
The Metropolitan Opera premiere of Lohengrin took place Wednesday, Nov. 7, 1883. Wagner's three-act romantic opera was offered as the seventh premiere in the opera company's first season lineup of 20 operas. Sung in Italian, Lohengrin received eight performances in the opera company's inaugural season, 1883-1884.
Lohengrin numbers as the fourth of seven new productions presented in the 2022-2023 Met Opera season. The Swan Knight-themed opera receives 10 performances in the new production's debut season. The new production's first performance took place as a Sunday matinee, Feb. 26, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. The second through fourth performances were held Thursday, March 2, at 6:30 p.m.; Sunday, March 5, at 2:00 p.m.; Friday, March 10, at 6:00 p.m. The fifth through 10th, closing performances are scheduled for Tuesday, March 14, at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday matinee radio broadcast, March 18, at noon, 12:00 p.m.; Tuesday, March 21, at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, March 25, at 7:00 p.m.; Tuesday, March 28, at 6:30 p.m.; and Saturday, April 1, at 7:00 p.m.
