The Grail Knight Lohengrin, son of the Grail King Parzival, is sent to the duchess of Brabant to defend her.
Lohengrin was first publicly performed in France
at the Eden-Théâtre in Paris on 30 April 1887 in a French translation by Charles-Louis-Étienne Nuitter.
Lohengrin still contains lengthy performances- for example, Elsa's"Alone in dark days" and Lohengrin's Grail aria-
which harken back to the classical solo aria form.
The United Kingdom premiere of Lohengrin took place at the Royal Opera House,
Covent Garden, on 8 May 1875 using the Italian translation by Marchesi.
A dove descends from heaven,
and taking the place of the swan leads Lohengrin in his boat back to the castle of the Holy Grail.
