Elsa von Brabant has been charged with fratricide. Nobody dares to prove the innocence of the young woman in this inexplicable case. Trapped in a reality that nobody seems to share with her, a man enters her life who promises to fight for her - on one condition: Elsa has to trust him blindly and may not ask him his name or where he comes from.

Eine Intrige verleitet Elsa dazu, sich gegen ihr eigenes Versprechen zu stellen. Die Antwort bringt zwar ihren Bruder zurück und offenbart dessen göttliche Herkunft, dafür zahlt sie jedoch einen hohen Preis. In einer Zeit der revolutionären Umbrüche schrieb Wagner seine 1850 unter der Leitung von Franz Liszt in Weimar uraufgeführte Oper »Lohengrin«. Er thematisiert darin das Bedürfnis, der gesellschaftlichen Realität eine utopische Wirklichkeit entgegenzusetzen, die sich weigert Liebe, Wahrhaftigkeit und Gerechtigkeit in den Dienst des unhinterfragten zivilen Gehorsams zu stellen. Als Vorlage verwendete Wagner Wolfram von Eschenbachs »Parzival«-Epos, Sagen der Brüder Grimm sowie verschiedene Märchensammlungen. Aus einem »Geist der Gegenwärtigkeit« führt der spanische Opern- und Schauspielregisseur Calixto Bieito das Publikum durch seine Arbeiten und präsentiert sich erstmals mit einer großen romantischen Oper an der Staatsoper Unter den Linden.
