Stein examples of romantic scenes taken from the Richard Wagner opera:
Lohengrin is a romantic opera in three
acts composed and written by Richard Wagner, first performed in 1850.
The story of the eponymous character is taken from medieval German
romance, notably the Parzival of Wolfram von Eschenbach and its sequel,
Lohengrin, written by a different author, itself inspired by the epic
of Garin le Loherain. It is part of the Knight of the Swan tradition.

The opera has proved
inspirational towards many works of art. Among those deeply moved by
the fairy-tale opera was the young King Ludwig II of Bavaria. "Der
Märchenkönig" ("The Fairy-Tale King") as he was named
later. He built his famous ideal fairy-tale castle and called it "New
Swan Stone"
or "Neuschwanstein" after the Swan Knight. It was King Ludwig's
patronage that later gave Wagner the means and opportunity to build a
theatre to compose and stage his epic cycle, "The Ring of the Nibelung".
