No, it's from the German opera Lohengrin.
Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrin" tells the story of a mysterious knight who arrives to rescue Elsa of Brabant, who has been falsely accused of murdering her brother. Lohengrin, who is revealed to be the son of the Holy Grail, can only remain as Elsa's protector if she never asks about his origins. The opera explores themes of love, trust, and the tension between the sacred and the profane, ultimately leading to tragedy when Elsa's curiosity leads to Lohengrin's departure. The work is notable for its lush orchestration and the famous "Bridal Chorus."
