# Exclusive: Richard Wagner’s *Lohengrin* Live from 1982 Bayreuth Festival by EuroArts
**A Masterpiece Unveiled**
EuroArts brings you an exclusive recording of Richard Wagner’s *Lohengrin*, a three-act opera that's a lyrical gem. Described as Wagner’s most Italianate opera, it showcases the composer's romantic vision of an individual's fight for freedom under oppression.
**Unique Filming Process**
This timeless interpretation by renowned opera director Götz Friedrich was filmed at Bayreuth's Festspielhaus. Filming took place over several days, just before the festival began, sans audience. This allowed for state-of-the-art, undisturbed filming within the confines of the 19th-century auditorium and stage.
**Star-Studded Ensemble**
The result is a film-like portrayal of a classic Bayreuth staging, featuring an ensemble of stars like Karen Armstrong and Bernd Weikl. The title-role suits Peter Hofmann's dramatic and musical talents perfectly. Before Parkinson disease forced his retirement, Hofmann's Wagnerian roles in the 80s won international acclaim. He was a star in Wagner interpretation for over a decade, and this DVD honors his skills.
