Wagner’s Walküre and Sibelius’ Sixth by Sibelius, Wagner, so 20 dub 2024, Od (2024/2024), Režie James Robinson,, Dirigent Robert Spano, Bass Performance Hall, Fort Worth, United States

Die Walküre is the second of Wagner’s four-opera Ring cycle. The first act narrates the tale of a forbidden romance with Wagnerian grandeur and themes that call the cycle’s other operas and characters to mind. FWSO Music Director Robert Spano leads the orchestra and star vocalists in a special concert version of this act, preceded by Sibelius’ Symphony No. 6, which the composer poetically described as “cold spring water” and the “scent of first snow.”
