Director Stefan Herheim stages Richard Wagner's THE VALKYRIE/DIE WALKÜRE as part of his new RING OF THE NIBELUNG / DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN tetralogy on main ...

Die Walküre Wagner,Richard

After the rule of the gods at the end of the RHEINGOLD had reached its shining zenith with the move into Valhalla Castle, the signs in the WALKÜRE are pointing to a storm: people are frozen in greed for power, mistrust and possessiveness, the gods only limit themselves to to monitor compliance with the old laws instead of questioning their meaning. The siblings Siegmund and Sieglinde are abandoned to death because there is no room for their love in this system. And the Valkyrie Brünnhilde falls under the spell when she dares to act contrary to the verdict of her father Wotan and to protect the couple. In WALKÜRE he makes it clear whose side Wagner is on: in the great love scene of Siegmund and Sieglinde, in which the natural force of love triumphs over all social commandments,


As part of their already multiple successful cooperation, the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Naxos will record the two cyclical performances of the RING DES NIBELUNGEN in November 2021 audiovisually as producers. In addition to the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Naxos, other production partners are Norwegian television NRK, the online platform MarqueeTV and Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg, which will also broadcast the second cycle live on the radio. After post-production of the recording, the RING DES NIBELUNGEN will be available in Germany in the ARD media library and internationally on MarqueeTV in spring 2022, as well as being broadcast on Norwegian television. In autumn 2022, Naxos will publish the RING cycle in a DVD or Blu-ray box.
