There hasn't been much good news for the National Theatre in recent years. What was left of a schedule ravaged by COVID has all too often been savaged by the critics.

Review: LOHENGRIN at Royal Opera House
By Stuart King Saturday, April 23 2022, 23:30

Richard Wagner used material from one such epic 15th century poem Lorengel as the major source for the libretto when composing his 3-Act opera Lohengrin set originally in 10th century Antwerp.
