“A Journey into Lohengrin, A San Francisco Opera/Lumahai Productions Film” takes viewers behind the scenes as a musical Everest is readied for the stage. With Music Director Eun Sun Kim at the helm, the many layers of Wagner’s epic work come together, offering a rare glimpse into the complex process of staging a monumental opera. The cast featured singers familiar with their roles (tenor Simon O'Neill and bass Kristinn Sigmundsson), while others (soprano Julie Adams, mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi, and baritone Brian Mulligan), along with Kim, take on the opera for the first time. Hear their frank thoughts on the challenges of daunting roles and orchestra members discuss their “Vulcan mind meld,” as large-scale rehearsals reveal the military-level precision and impressive artistry from hundreds of artists, company, and crew. Directed by Elena Park, this illuminating film chronicles the collective pursuit of something transcendent.
