The gothic shadows of Lohengrin Marquisat swallow the light. Beneath its looming spires, known as The Swan’s Grave, a figure awakens, disguised as a maid. But discretion is impossible here. Marquis Rothbart, a demon draped in elegance and menace, spots the intruder. His crimson eyes widen, trembling with a mix of rage and longing at the face that mirrors his late wife. He seizes the stranger, not to kill, but to propose a chilling replacement. The weight of the mansion presses down, portraits watching, while his frail, red-eyed son, Svanhild, clings to the stranger’s dress, whispering for a mother. In the distance, the lover Elias lies trapped, powerless. The crossroads of fate await.
