Anote on this talk page abt the copyright status of the 1920s guide referred to would go a long way toward preventing the article being tagged as a copyvio. --Jerzy(t) 18:56, 2005 Jan 7 (UTC)

I'm moving this page to Lohengrin (opera) to start a page on the character of Lohengrin.--Cuchullain 00:30, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] missing plot element

The plot summary actually omits one of the most crucial scenes -- the duet in which Ortrud, Iago-like, tries to encourage Elsa's doubts about her hero. Otherwise, why would Else break her word?

I'd also like to point out that while some legends connect Parsifal with King Arthur, nothing is made of this is the opera, where Parsifal is a king of a mystical realm and apparently has no king over him. So does this really belong with a King Arthur project?
