The release of “Eun Sun Kim: A Journey Into Lohengrin,” an hour-long film by San Francisco Opera and Lumahai Productions has been announced.

Directed by Elena Park, the new film takes viewers behind the scenes during the weeks of rehearsal leading up to the opening of Wagner’s “Lohengrin” at San Francisco Opera last October. It follows the production team and artists, headed by Caroline H. Hume Music Director, Eun Sun Kim, as they approach Wagner’s musical “Mount Everest.” Tenor Simon O’Neill and bass Kristinn Sigmundsson, veterans in their respective roles discuss their experiences juxtaposed by Maestro Kim, soprano Julie Adams, mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi, and baritone Brian Mulligan’s reflections of their first time performing the work.

Other highlights featured in the film are a discussion about the fragile yet, resilient nature of the human voice and how the cast members prepared for the production. Orchestra musicians describe their technical, physical, and musical challenges, and their “Vulcan mind meld” bond they share in the pit with Maestro Kim.

Park, who also serves as the executive producer and head of Lumahai Productions, said in a press release, “With Eun Sun Kim at the center of the complexity, it was fascinating to see the puzzle pieces come together for this epic work. Our hope is that the film illuminates what it takes for her and hundreds of people to pull off something like Lohengrin—a remarkable feat with parallels to sports and other pursuits—and the passion and dedication of an entire company in the pursuit of something transcendent.”

The film will be broadcast on KQED 9 on Nov. 1, at 8 p.m. “Eun Sun Kim: A Journey Into Lohengrin” is now available for streaming, with optional English and Korean subtitles.
