Excerpt from Lohengrin: Opera in Three ActsPreparations are made for the immediate marriage of the stranger with Elsa but while all are reveling in the Pallas, or abode of the knights, Frederick and Ortrud are without, plotting how they may be avenged and recover their lost hon ors. Presenting herself at the K emanate, or abode of the ladies, Ortrud moves the compassion of Elsa, who not only gains her admission, but promises to obtain the pardon of Frederick, and listens to the suggestion that she ought to inquire into the name and origin of her future husband, who, without the' ducal title, has been appointed by the King Protector of Brabant and leader of the Brabant Contingent of the German Army. As the nuptial procession approaches the cathedral, the Conspirators reveal themselves in their true character, Ortrud opposing Elsa at the door, and Frederick declaring that the unknown knight is a sorcerer, who has gained his victory by unfair means.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
