Seattle Opera’s first-ever Wagner production was staged early in 1966, when the company was barely three years old. A team of strong American singers and Seattle Opera’s orchestra and chorus wrestled with Wagner’s mighty score for
Lohengrin. The Seattle audience was flabbergasted by the beauty and intensity of the music, and enjoyed the beautiful romantic production.

It’s love at first sight (and hearing!) when Seattle Opera meets Richard Wagner.
