Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" ('The Ring of the Nibelung') comprises four operas of which "Die Walküre" ('The Valkyrie') is the second, famous for its spectacular set-pieces such as the 'Ride of the Valkyries' and Wotan's 'Farewell'. The plot focuses on the lovers Siegmund and Sieglinde and on the disobedience of the Valkyrie Brünnhilde, who defies the edict of Fricka, the goddess of marriage, to punish them. With "Die Walküre" Wagner achieved a perfect synthesis of poetry and music. Sir Donald Runnicles conducts an internationally acclaimed cast in this innovative new production by Norwegian director Stefan Herheim
