This time two younger generation singers, who already have entered on international careers, perform the parts of Lohengrin and Elsa. Lohengrin is Michael Weinius, first prize winner of the prestigious Seattle Opera International Wagner competition in 2008, while Emma Vetter, who has won the Wagner competition Neue Stimmen, sings Elsa.
