Wagner's romantic opera features the legendary German figure, knight Lohengrin, in this epic story of romance, war and vengeance. Lohengrin becomes betrothed to a young German girl, hiding his true identity from her, as the characters around her scheme for revenge on Lohengrin, after defeat in battle. The mythical story is told through Wagner's groundbreaking musical compositions, introducing the Bridal Chorus, now known as "Here Comes the Bride," the march now universally played at weddings in the West.
