If Das Rheingold ends with the vision of the supremacy of the gods climbing a rainbow, the second part of the Ring of the Nibelungs begins with that of a solitary mortal braving a violent storm. It is about a fugitive warrior named Siegmund. When he finally finds shelter and rest in a remote cabin, it is to meet Sieglinde, a young woman as beautiful as she is unhappy. A devouring passion is born between the two, as evidence, at the same time as a buried past resurfaces which will seal their destiny. Their forbidden love provokes the anger of the goddess of marriage, Fricka, who demands that her husband, Wotan, enforce by force the ancestral and rigid laws of the gods... In
 
Die Walküre, the “first day” of Richard Wagner's tetralogy, director Romeo Castellucci reveals the full depth of these emblematic characters and the love that drives them, despite the curse of the ring. And with the usual ardor of Alain Altinoglu at the head of the Orchester symphonique de la Monnaie, this ride of the Valkyries promises to be the most gripping you've ever heard.

English

Si Das Rheingold s’achève par la vision de la suprématie des dieux gravissant un arc-en-ciel, le deuxième volet du Ring des Nibelungen commence par celle d’un mortel solitaire bravant une violente tempête. Il s’agit d’un guerrier fugitif qui se nomme Siegmund. Lorsqu’il trouve enfin un abri et du repos dans une cabane reculée, c’est pour y rencontrer Sieglinde, une jeune femme aussi belle que malheureuse. Une passion dévorante naît entre les deux, comme une évidence, en même temps que resurgit un passé enfoui qui scellera leur destin. Leur amour interdit provoque la colère de la déesse du mariage, Fricka, qui exige de son époux, Wotan, de faire respecter par la force les lois ancestrales et rigides des dieux...
 
Dans Die Walküre, la « première journée » de la tétralogie de Richard Wagner, le metteur en scène Romeo Castellucci nous dévoile toute la profondeur de ces personnages emblématiques et de l’amour qui les anime, en dépit de la malédiction de l’anneau. Et avec la fougue habituelle d’Alain Altinoglu à la tête de l’Orchestre symphonique de la Monnaie, cette chevauchée des Walkyries promet d’être la plus prenante que vous ayez jamais entendue.
