Lohengrin Chicago 1938

 
Flagstad as Elsa

Here are 8 minutes toward the end of the first act of Lohengrin broadcast between 8-9pm CST by WENR. It is perhaps most notable for the Elsa of Kirsten Flagstad since she did not perform this role often (in comparison to Isolde and Brunnhilde) and there is only one complete recording of her in this opera, from the Met in 1937.
