About the piece
Scenes from Richard Wagner's "Die Walküre"

When Richard Wagner conceived his work “Ring des Nibelungen”, he began with the story of “Siegfried's Death”, which he later renamed “Götterdämmerung”. He found that the many storylines with no history were confusing. He composed three other musical dramas, the “Rheingold”, the “Walküre” and “Siegfried”, which were premiered as a cycle in 1876 for the first time in the specially built festival theater in Bayreuth. The "Ring" is about great questions of humanity, the connection between power and guilt, the relationship between love, power and knowledge. The characters that Wagner created in his 18-hour opus are among the most interesting theater characters. His orchestra was the largest of its time, and the demands on the singing staff are immense. The “ring” as an example of Wagner's idea of ​​the total work of art has the format of a Greek tragedy. Out of the many acts of the “Ring”, the first act of “Valkyrie” with its tension and speed stands out.

The plot: Sieglinde was forcibly married and suffers from her violent husband Hunding. Her twin brother Siegmund arrives at her house, on the run from his pursuers. The leader of the agitators: Sieglinde's husband Hunding. Sieglinde and Siegmund discover that they are siblings and flee. The last sentence: "So let Wälsungen's blood bloom." Incest, scandal. Curtain. The concert also features the ride of the Valkyries and the final scene of Wotan, including the magic of fire
