How & When To Watch Bayreuth's New Production Of Lohengrin Online - For Free
Edit: We have been informed that this year's live broadcast may be geo-restricted to viewers in Germany. If so, shame and bad form. It may be that the on-demand version, which should remain in place for a few days is not geo-restricted.
If it is, of course, one could use a VPN or proxy to circumnavigate it - not that we would suggest such a thing of course.

Thankfully, a much better prepared Lohengrin has been found at short notice, in the form of the very fine Piotr Beczala. Beczala made his role debut as Lohengrin in 2016 at Dresden, see video below. Besczala is having something of a good year having only this year being announced as the recipient of the International Opera Awards "Best Male Singer" award. The Bayreuth production will see him once again, reunited with conductor Christian Thielemann.
