A weary traveller, driven by a storm and pursued by a ferocious horde, seeks shelter in a hut in the forest. He is gently tended by a woman, who awakens distant memories of his early life…

In June 2019 the Mahler Players will give the Highland premiere of Wagner’s Die Walküre. In a specially commissioned new orchestration by composers Matthew King and Peter Longworth, the orchestra will perform Act 1 from the opera.

Given its UK premiere in 1882, it has nonetheless never been performed in the north of Scotland.

Working with world-renowned soloists Claire Rutter (recent appearances include the title role in Tosca with Welsh National Opera and Icelandic Opera), Peter Wedd (the Prince in Rusalka with Scottish Opera, Siegmund in Die Walküre with Oper Frankfurt and the title role in Lohengrin with WNO) and Olivier Award winning bass-baritone Iestyn Edwards this promises to be a must-see event this year for everyone in the north of Scotland.

Schoenberg’s haunting and romantic Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night) will be in the first half.

We hope to see you there for what promises to be an unforgettable concert.

Die Walküre Act 1 by Schoenberg, Arnold, Wagner, Richard, From (2019/2019), Conductor Tomas Leakey, St. Giles Church, Elgin, United Kingdom
