2 In Act 2 Elsa conflates her faith in Lohengrin with Christian faith when she tries to persuade the pagan Ortrud to convert, and in the Bridal March in Act 3 the chorus refers to Elsa as being ‘guided by faith’, leaving it ambiguous as to whether this is religious or conjugal faith; either way she is being required to make a Kierkegaardian leap of faith into something unknown.
