Review: Met's New LOHENGRIN Is Thrillingly Sung but Close Your Eyes and Listen
by Richard Sasanow - Feb 28, 2023

And soprano Christine Goerke’s evil Ortrud nearly steals the show. With the Met’s orchestra and chorus in glorious form, led by music director Yannick Nezet-Seguin in the pit, the performance made you want to scream and yell for more.
