The female lead in this work was later reimagined as a deflowered vestal virgin who is actually a patient in a psych ward in a 1982 opera by Salvatore Sciarrino. One character prays for a resolution to this work's initial conflict in "Mein Herr und Gott," which is preceded by the heroine's dream aria "Einsam in trüben Tagen." The villains sing the dueling arias "Durch dich musst' Ich verlieren" and "Du Wilde Seherin" in Act 2 of this opera before vowing revenge in the duet "Der Rache Werk." after which the heroine sings the aria "Euch Lüften, die mein Klagen" to Ortrud in this opera's balcony scene. After the death of Telramund, this opera's "forbidden question" motif culminates in the title character's aria "In fernem Land," in which he finally reveals his name. For 10 points, name this opera in which a grail knight arrives in Antwerp on a swan-drawn boat only to leave Elsa to die from a broken heart, a work by Richard Wagner.
