The Birgitta Festival of the Tallinn Philharmonic Society combines the dark charm of a medieval convent in Tallinn, Estonia with the latest in modern musical theatre in all its variety and richness.

The Birgitta Festival presents the Novaya Opera of Moscow, performing Wagner's "Lohengrin" in a staging by a highly successful team from the Royal Danish Opera.

For the first time in 70 years, Richard Wagner’s "Lohengrin" has been staged in Moscow. To work on its production of the opera, the Novaya Opera Theatre invited Maestro Jan Latham-Koenig, a leading European conductor and a connoisseur of Wagnerian style, who many times conducted Lohengrin in different opera houses of the world.

The old tale of Lohengrin, the mysterious knight of the Holy Grail, is both romantic and frightening. The knight plays a decisive role in the fate of Elsa, who is slanderously accused of having murdered her missing brother, and in the chaotic state of the country. Lohengrin comes to Elsa’s rescue and is ready to lead the country on condition that Elsa never ask his name or origin. The girl breaks her oath, asking her beloved to reveal his mystery. Lohengrin discloses his identity, bringing Elsa’s brother back to her, but has to leave her for ever.
