 OperaResource - richard wagner and die walkure
Die Walkre: opera in three acts, Part II of 'Der Ring des Nibelungen', libretto and music by Richard Wagner (1813-1883), preliminary premiere 26th June 1870 at the Court Theatre in Munich together with 'Das Rheingold'.
'Die Walkre' as part of the complete Ring cycle was first performed in 1876 at the festive opening of the Bayreuth Festival Theatre.
Of the four Ring operas, 'Die Walkre' is the one that stands most comfortably on its own, and it is very popular with audiences.

 Die Walkure
Die Walkure continues the action introduced in Das Rheingold.
Walkure is different from Rheingold in that Wagner begins to pour into his music all the emotion of which he is capable.
While Rheingold is somewhat formal and somewhat stodgy in form and music, Walkure is pure emotional bliss.

 Richard Wagner
His music is still widely performed, the best known pieces being the "Ride of the Valkyries" from Die Walküre and the "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin.
Next is Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (The Mastersingers of Nuremberg), the only comedy in his oeuvre apart from Das Liebesverbot, and one of the longest operas still performed.
For instance, after Daniel Barenboim conducted a passage from Tristan and Isolde as an encore at the 2001 Israel Festival, a parliamentary committee urged a boycott of the conductor, and an initially scheduled performance of Die Walküre had to be withdrawn.

Die Walküre: opera in three acts, Part II of 'Der Ring des Nibelungen', libretto and music by Richard Wagner (1813-1883), preliminary premiere 26th June 1870 at the Court Theatre in Munich together with 'Das Rheingold'.
The score of 'Die Walküre' was completed in 1856, but work on the next instalment, 'Siegfried', had to stop in the middle of the second act as Wagner had other pressing commitments in the form of 'Tristan und Isolde' and 'Die Meistersinger'.
Much against Wagner's wishes, 'Das Rheingold' and 'Die Walküre' were premiered in Munich before the rest of the tetralogy was finished - King Ludwig insisted on this 'preview' while the furious composer looked on helplessly in the face of the King's privileges and his own dependence on the King's funds.

 Met's 'Ring' Gallops On With 'Die Walkure'
Die Walkre (April 7) peaked in Act I, where John Macurdy's surly Hunding had good reason to fear the high voltage generated by Plcido Domingo's full-blooded Siegmund and Deborah Voigt's bright (in both senses of the word) Sieglinde.
A paradox of the "Ring" in general, and "Die Walkre" in particular, is that Wagner lavished so much heroic, ennobling music on characters who are truly despicable.
With all of Gtterdmmerung one had again the feeling, as in Das Rheingold and Act I of Die Walkre, that this was about as good as it gets.
