Lohengrin Moving Moment with Brian Mulligan

"Baritone Brian Mulligan, whose appearances in San Francisco are a regular delight, made a full-voiced, aptly pitiable figure as Friedrich von Telramund."
(SF Chronicle)
In this scene from Act II of Lohengrin, a disgraced Telramund tells his wife Ortrud why he lost the battle with Lohengrin and how he will get his revenge!
He tells her, “Then the trial itself was confounded by deception! I’ve lost my honor through Magic’s cunning! But could I then avenge my shame and prove my honesty? The lovers deception, I could then reveal and my honor I’d win back anew! Oh woman, whom in the night I before me see, if you deceive me now again, then woe betide you!”
