I'm moving this page to Lohengrin (opera) to start a page on the character of Lohengrin.--Cuchullain 00:30, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

missing plot element

The plot summary actually omits one of the most crucial scenes -- the duet in which Ortrud, Iago-like, tries to encourage Elsa's doubts about her hero. Otherwise, why would Else break her word?

I'd also like to point out that while some legends connect Parsifal with King Arthur, nothing is made of this is the opera, where Parsifal is a king of a mystical realm and apparently has no king over him. So does this really belong with a King Arthur project?

only tarried to--?

The statement that Lohengrin tarried only to prove Elsa innocent makes no sense. She was declared innocent two acts ago, and they were married! The real reason he tarried was that he thought the people deserved an explanation for why he had to leave (violating his marriage vow to Elsa and his feudal oath to the King). 76.122.75.11 (talk) 20:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
