The Oper Leipzig presents Wagner's famous opera in a new staging after the production at the Staatsoper Hamburg by  Peter Konwitschny from 1998.   At King Heinrich I court, Frederick of Telramund falsely accuses Elsa of Brabant to have murdered her brother Godfrey, eire of the throne, in order to gain reign for himself.
