After Tristan und Isolde (2016), Parsifal (2017) and Die Meistersinger von NĂŒrnberg (2018) this is the fourth installment of the exclusive, multiyear partnership between Deutsche Grammophon and the Bayreuth Festival, in which the Yellow Label is the exclusive audiovisual partner of the mythical Wagner festival, releasing each edition's new production on Blu-ray. This year, we are proud to release on Blu-ray the celebrated production of Lohengrin which was premiered on 25 July 2018, featuring an illustrious cast including Piotr Beczala and Anja Harteros in their house debuts, as well as the acclaimed return of Waltraud Meier to the Bayreuth Festival. The New York Times praised Piotr Beczalaâs Lohengrin as âoutstandingâ, Anja Harteros [making] her impressive Bayreuth debutâ as Elsa, and Ortrud âplayed with dominant presence by the incomparable Waltraud Meierâ.
