Richard Jones s radical new production of Lohengrin was the talk of the 2009 Munich Festival. It was also a triumph for Jonas Kaufmann in the title role the finest heldentenor since Jon Vickers (La Scena Musicale). Die Welt added that they could not think of any cast more perfectly matched, so youthfully enthralling, in short: so wonderful ... . With striking costumes and designs by Ultz and directed by Maestro Kent Nagano it represents a bold new Lohengrin for today s world.
