VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

Co-presented with The Metropolitan Opera

Ground breaking designer Tim Yip has just revealed his set and costume designs for the new production of Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin at the Met Opera. Spanning his 40-year career, Tim discusses his process and artistic inspiration, which draws on ancient culture to create a futuristic vision. Working in contemporary film, theatre, set design, and visual art, his art creates a world in which design catalyzes time, space, and energy. Yip will take the audience on a creative journey, discussing his philosophy of art-making, and exploring through the presentation of accompanying visuals, the legacy of his work.

Wagner’s soaring masterpiece makes its triumphant return to the Met stage after 17 years, in a breathtaking new production by François Girard and Yip. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts a supreme cast led by tenor Piotr Beczała as the mysterious swan knight.

Ticket purchasers for this Asia Society event are eligible for 15% off select Lohengrin performances. Details will be provided upon registration.
