Great success of the new production of "Lohengrin" at the Opéra National de Paris conducted by ALEXANDER SODDY, staged by KIRILL SEREBRENNIKOV, WOLFGANG KOCH as Telramund

The eagerly awaited premiere of the new production of “Lohengrin” at the Opéra National de Paris celebrates great success and is acclaimed by the press and audience.

Alexander Soddy returns to the Paris Opera after his successful debut with Peter Grimes and is celebrated for his outstanding performance.

“In the pit, Alexander Soddy, who was praised last season for his remarkable conducting by Peter Grimes, zealously engages the orchestra members—so amorphous in Don Giovanni, currently being performed in rotation (3)—to make the lines of this delicate fresco of sound sing, rendering each line with subtlety, from the most ethereal piano to the most powerful forte.” (concert classic)

Kirill Serebrennikov made his debut at the Opéra National de Paris "Dark, complex, and fascinating. As a hypersensitive artist abused by the authorities of his homeland and forced into exile, he has now created a body of work intimately connected to the turmoil of the time. His theater, film, and operatic adaptations are an echo chamber as painful as it is lucid, allowing him to speak of his time and illuminate the unbearable immutability of the world." (concertclassic)

Wolfgang Koch sings Telramund and impresses with his performance and beautiful timbre.
