@vocetenor I happened to be in two of the performances in Venice and I disagree with your comment. I have never experienced a Lohengrin bringing, out of a relaxed attitude, such dramatic and vocally perfect interpretation. Araiza was able to deliver at each moment the proper color and dynamic. It was extraordinary! Thieleman Araiza and Secunde was a first class casting! I am happy and greatful about this posting. Currently, 20 years later, I enjoy too Jonas Kaufmann in this role.

A Lohengrin in the lyric tradition of Fleta and Pertile but sung in German! which makes this rendition a unique example of Wagner's original intention..

Francisco Araiza is one of the greatest, most versatile tenors of the 20 century... It was this singer that tuned me (and countless others) into opera!

Ein lichter Tempel stehet dort inmitten!

@TheCatcherkid Francisco Araiza is a Mexican tenor who has lived for many years in Europe, including Germany. He has , for many years, sang Mozart Operas, that is why he is so well familiarized with the German Language. The colour and range of his voice are also heroic, with easy acute notes without straining during the low baritonal singing. No wonder, he can sing this difficult Wagnerian aria: Lohengrin¨s ¨In a distant land¨

YT types can whine about miscasting but a lovlier voice never touched this aria.

ja, der Mann kann Almaviva,als auch Lohengrin singen :-)) Ich weiss nicht warum seine Stimme fuer Wagner´s Opern nicht passen sollte wie man hier in der Diskussion sagt. Mir hat dieses Video gefallen:-)

as much as I love Araiza, this is not for him. The voice color does not match the richness of the orchestra and he sounds as though he is working too hard. this was poor casting.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.What a wonderful lyric voice in this difficult aria.
Christian Thielemann und Francisco Araiza, ein Höhepunkt der Wagner Opern darstellerisch, musikslisch und gesanglich der beste Lohengrin!
Eine profesionelle Aufnahme wäre ein Traum gewesen ... danke für posting!!!!
