Wagner’s Ring cycle is one of the greatest works of all opera. Keith Warner’s
production is conducted by Antonio Pappano and cast with an outstanding
international array of Wagnerian specialist singers. The full cycle's four
operas journey from the beginning of a world to its destruction, with
gods, heroes and monsters. This epic myth portrays every type of human
emotion in music and ideas of extraordinary power. Die Walküre (The
Valkyrie) is the second opera in the cycle, and features several of the
Ring’s musical highlights – the sparkling Magic Fire Music and the
electrifying Ride of the Valkyries. But among the musical fireworks and
Norse mythology are the unforgettable characters and the complex
entanglements between them, including twins Siegmund and Sieglinde, and
Wotan and his Valkyrie daughter, Brünnhilde. Sung in German with English
surtitles
