Die Walküre with Opéra de Monte-Carlo

Opera in three acts

Music by Richard Wagner (1813-1883) 

Libretto by Richard Wagner

Premiere: Munich, Royal Theatre, 26 June 1870

New production

In this part of Wagner’s Tetralogy, we witness the consequence of what had happened in Das Rheingold: the ring, which Godfather Wotan in his greed for supremacy stole from Alberich, brings more fatal destruction. At the end of the opera, Wotan remains a broken man who lost the respect of his wife, banished his favourite daughter, provoked the death of his beloved children, and forsakes his godly might.
