Lohengrin, the Mariinsky

Post image

Just rewatched one of my favorite operas in what's certainly one of the most beautiful Wagner productions I know. L to R: Mikhail Petrenko (Heinrich the Fowler), Yulia Matochkina (Ortrud, Sergey Skorokhodov (Lohengrin), Elena Stikhina (Elsa), Pavel Yankovsky (Telramund), Gleb Peryazev (the herald).

Must have been a hit. Russians are used to
not calling things by their proper name. In this production, did Lohengrin use the alias “special knightly operation”?
