Die Walküre is the most popular piece of the Der Ring des Nibelungen and is frequently performed as a standalone work. The work features poignant scenes and dramatic portrayals, set to mellifluous music, including the forbidden love between Siegmund and his twin sister Sieglinde, and the eternal separation between Wotan, ruler of the gods, and his daughter Brünnhilde. The work contains a number of notable pieces of music that have been performed as standalone pieces at concerts, such as the "Winterstürme wichen dem Wonnemond" sung by Siegmund, "Wotan's Farewell" and of course the famous "Ride of the Valkyries".

This production of Ring by maestro Götz FRIEDRICH, staged over three years at the NNTT since 2015, is one of beauty, characterised by its clarity and philosophical approach, and elicited much attention. The Artistic Director of Opera ONO Kazushi will be on the podium replacing the former Artistic Director IIMORI Taijiro. (For the final performance on 23 March, JOYA Masahiro, the Music Chief of New National Theatre Tokyo, will take the baton.)
Internationally acclaimed Wagnerian singers Michael KUPFER-RADECKY and FUJIMURA Mihoko will return to the stage of NNTT alongside the stunning Japanese singers.

The Valkyrie by Wagner, Richard, Wed 17 Mar 2021, From (2021/2021), Directed by Götz Friedrich,, Conductor Taijiro Iimori, Kazushi Ōno, Masahiro JOYA, New National Theatre, Tokyo, Japan
