Lohengrin
Lohengrin's premiere was in 1850 with Franz Liszt conducting.
Wagner was in exile and could not attend the premiere. The first production was a disappointment, and Wagner began talking about a festival theatre built by himself, an idea that later manifested itself in the Bayreuth Festival House.
The first time Lohengrin was performed in Bayreuth was in 1894.
Lohengrin was produced in the following cities the first years after the world premiere in 1850
| 1853 | Wiesbaden |
| 1854 | Frankfurt a.M. Leipzig Darmstadt |
| 1855 | Hamburg Hannover Köln |
| 1856 | Karlsruhe Praha Mainz Würzburg |
| 1858 | München Wien |
| 1859 | Berlin Dresden (Richard Wagner attended the production) Mannheim |

Famous quotes from Lohengrin
Lohengrin
Nie sollst du mich befragen,
noch Wissens Sorge tragen,
woher ich kam der Fahrt,
noch wie mein Nam und Art!
In fernem Land, unnahbar euren Schritten,
liegt eine Burg, die Montsalvat genannt;
ein lichter Tempel stehet dort inmitten,
so kostbar, als auf Erden nichts bekannt
