Wagner's Die Walkure: Act 1
Jonathan Swain presents Act 1 of Die Walkure, from Paris Opera's celebrated production of Wagner's epic Ring cycle.
Incestuous twins and a troupe of disobedient warrior-women... and that's just the kids. If only Top God Wotan had stayed at home a little more. But Wotan's problems don't stop with his horde of illegitimate children because his wife is Goddess of the Sanctity of Marriage. If you thought there might be trouble ahead, you'd be right.
The second part of the Paris Opera's acclaimed production of Wagner's epic Ring cycle, Die Walk眉re (Act 1), begins today, with Act 2 tomorrow and Act 3 on Friday. Plus Dukas's famous The Sorcerers Apprentice.
