La Walkyrie by Wagner, Du (2022/2022), Dirigé par Alexander Müller-Elmau,, Chef d'orchestre Daniel Carter

The struggle for power and love continues: Wotan, the father of the gods, begets the Wälsungen siblings Siegmund and Sieglinde as a “free” heroic family through which he hopes to win back the ring. The siblings fall in love with each other unsuspectingly - but Fricka, as the guardian of the marriage, does not tolerate incest. Wotan is forced to sacrifice his son and orders his favorite daughter Brünnhilde to kill Siegmund in a fight against Sieglinde's husband Hunding. But the Valkyrie feels sorry for the couple and defies her father's orders... With “Valkyrie”, completed in 1856, Richard Wagner creates a gripping family drama and links the world of the gods with the world of men. With words and sounds, he impressively traces the inner movements and passions of the characters: the great dialogues and songs between Siegmund and Sieglinde, Wotan and Fricka, Brünnhilde and Siegmund as well as Wotan and Brünnhilde, culminating in "Fire Magic", are undoubtedly among the most haunting and most expressive thing ever written for the opera stage. After the great success of "Das Rheingold" in the 2019/2020 season, Alexander Müller-Elmau is continuing his production of the "Ring" tetralogy and this time, too, the family and emotional entanglements and the downfall of a world order are timelessly topical with mythical, symbolic images stage
