Lohengrin" by Salvatore Sciarrino

About "Lohengrin
The Brothers Grimm told the legend of Lohengrin*¹ in their "German Legends" around 1816, and after Wagner's 1850 masterpiece based on it, French poet Jules Laforgue created a parody of the story in the 1880s." Laforgue's "Lohengrin," which opens with a quote from Rimbaud with the subtitle "The Mad Virgin, Husband of Hell," was followed by another work by Salvatore Charino, "the magician of silence and alliteration.

Nearly two hundred years have passed since the time of the story, and it has now been forty years since Chalino published "Lohengrin". Wagner's "Lohengrin" is a magnificent and lengthy work of intrigue and trickery set against a backdrop of myth and legend, but Sharino created this work with only one character, Elsa, in mind. Who is this Elsa who wanders between "dream and reality" or "sanity and dreams," reminiscent of the genre of Japanese Noh called Kyômono (Noh play) or Yumeigen Noh (dream play)?


*¹A noble woman ruled the land of Brabant, but she had rejected the offers of many suitors. She longed for the coming of one whom God would send. At that time, Lohengrin landed in Antwerpen in a small boat towed by a swan, and the queen politely welcomed the hero. When the hero said, "If you want me to be your lord here, ... you must never ask me who I am," the queen swore to keep her promise, and the two were married. They were married and had two children. However, she later broke her promise, and Lohengrin left behind a sword, a horn, and a ring as mementos, and went away to the Grail Castle.
