   'This Baden-Baden production is sufficiently muddle-headed not
   to trouble the music. As stage director, Nikolaus Lehnhoff has
   rightly observed that in Solveig Kringelborn he has an Elsa who
   may indeed be fatally inquisitive but is so visually captivating
   that in the prelude she may as well play the part of the grail
   itself. Her gradual emanation from the shadows is a delight to
   watch. Perhaps she is dreaming of the grail or indeed its knight,
   who will defend her against the appalling charge of fratricide.
   In this matter she is monomaniac against all odds, as was
   Chaplain's Hitler, when he played with the world-balloon to the
   same accompaniment.'

   - Robert Anderson, reviewing the recent Opus Arte DVD set of
   Wagner's 'Lohengrin' in today's Music & Vision, illustrated with
   video stills and seven video extracts.
