SUMMARY:Der Ring des Nibelungen – Die Walküre
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:After the reign of the gods has reached its radiant zenith at t
 he end of the RHEINGOLD with the entry into Valhalla Castle\, the signs in
  the WALKÜRE are stormy: the people are frozen in greed for power\, mistr
 ust and possessiveness\, the gods confine themselves only to monitoring co
 mpliance with the old laws instead of questioning their meaning ... Conduc
 tor: Sir Donald Runnicles\; Director: Stefan Herheim\; With Matthew Newlin
 \, Tobias Kehrer\, Jordan Shanahan\, Elisabeth Teige\, Annika Schlicht\, T
 rine Møller a. o.\nWith the hegemony of the gods at its zenith at the clo
 se of THE RHINEGOLD and the gods ensconced in the castle of Valhalla\, tro
 uble is brewing in THE VALKYRIE. The mortals are power-crazed\, mistrust a
 nd materialism rule and all that the gods can think about is enforcing the
  old codes rather than questioning their raison d’être. Siblings Siegmu
 nd and Sieglinde are condemned to death because there is no place for thei
 r special brand of love in society. Brünnhilde\, a Valkyrie\, is charmed 
 by them and dares to defy her father Wotan’s sentence by taking the pair
  under her wing. In THE VALKYRIE Wagner makes it plain whose side he is on
 : in the big love scene between Siegmund and Sieglinde\, in which the elem
 ental force of love outpunches all social mores\, and in the evolution of 
 Brünnhilde’s character\, whose conduct is at first motivated by intuiti
 ve sympathy but morphs into deliberate action as a protest against inhuman
 ity and injustice.
