Lilian Nordica at Bayreuth
1894
Lohengrin (Elsa)
The first time Lohengrin was performed at Bayreuth was in 1894.
In 1913, Lilian Nordica embarked on a strenuous recital tour to Australia. The ship hit a coral reef, where it remained for three days, and Nordica suffered hypothermia (exposure) from which she never recovered. After suffering for months, she died on May 10, 1914, on the island of Java.
