Vienna State Opera – Richard Wagner – Lohengrin

Once upon a time there was a king who died and left behind two children, a son and a daughter.

But the daughter was a year older than the son. And one day the two royal children argued with each other about which of them should be king, for the brother said, 'I am a prince, and when there are princes, princesses do not get to reign But the daughter objected: 'I am the first-born and the eldest, I should take precedence.
