Which famous wedding piece was composed by Richard Wagner for his opera Lohengrin? Learn!
Treulich geführt, commonly known as the "Bridal Chorus" or "Here Comes the Bride," is one of the most recognizable wedding processional pieces in the Western world. Composed by Richard Wagner for his 1850 romantic opera Lohengrin, this majestic chorus accompanies the scene when the heroine Elsa proceeds to her marriage. Despite its enduring popularity in wedding ceremonies, the piece is ironically situated within an opera that tells a story of a failed marriage built on broken promises, adding dramatic irony to its ceremonial use. The piece gained widespread popularity after being performed at the wedding of Victoria, Princess Royal to Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1858.
