Die Walküre
Richard Wagner
If in Das Rheingold the curtain fell with the hegemony of the gods in Valhalla, the second part of Der Ring des Nibelungen opens with a mortal who, alone on Earth, faces a raging storm. Siegmund is called the hunted warrior, and when he briefly finds peace in a concealed hut, he meets the beautiful but equally hapless Sieglinde. An ardent and natural passion blossoms, but at the same time a hidden past surfaces that will seal their fate...
