💨 Abstract

Piotr Beczała, a renowned tenor, performed "Lohengrin" in Munich and Bayreuth within 41 hours, showcasing his remarkable stamina. Despite Wagner's vocally demanding roles, Beczała's rigorous schedule proved successful, earning him ovations. He prepared extensively, work-shopping the revival in Bayreuth and rehearsing in Munich. Contemporarily directed, both productions deviated from Wagner's traditional staging elements like the swan.
