Part 2 - Die Walk眉re
Wotan, king of the gods, strives to undo the curse placed on the ring by the dwarf Alberich, by fathering a mortal hero to reclaim it.
The second of the four music dramas in Richard Wagner鈥檚 monumental Ring cycle, in a radically stripped-back, critically acclaimed production by Opera North. Filmed during live performances in 2016, this is total immersion in a unique, all-encompassing music drama.
In Die Walk眉re, it is human emotion that takes centre stage, with musical highlights including 鈥榃interst眉rme鈥� and the Ride of the Valkyries.
Wotan, king of the gods, strives to undo the curse placed on the ring by the dwarf Alberich, by fathering a mortal hero to reclaim it. But when his son Siegmund falls in love with his estranged twin sister, defying the laws of incest, Wotan sends his favourite daughter, the Valkyrie 叠谤眉苍苍丑颈濒诲别, to ensure Siegmund鈥檚 death. Yet her defiance will mean that Wotan has to say a final goodbye to her too.
