Lohengrin

Certain to shake things up, Sharon is a brilliantly disruptive Wagnerian who has staged an exceptional, transgressive “Lohengrin” for the Bayreuth Festival and an arrestingly futurist act of “Die Walküre,” from the “Ring,” at the Hollywood Bowl.

The one time the Met tried a remarkable Wagner staging, Robert Wilson’s production of “Lohengrin,” it proved an audience turnoff.

After making his Seattle Opera debut in 1994 in “Lohengrin,” Grimsley’s repeat appearances as Wotan, one of the protagonists of Wagner’s “Ring” cycle, played an indispensable role in building Seattle Opera’s international reputation.

Around the same time, agent Alan Green arranged for Tetelman to take over Rodolfo for a concert performance at the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Tanglewood Festival after Piotr Beczała withdrew to replace Roberto Alagna at the Bayreuth Festival’s “Lohengrin.”

Edelman’s decision said Netrebko voluntarily withdrew from performances of Wagner’s “Lohengrin” and Puccini’s “Turandot” and was not owed for those.
