This is in good hands with the renowned specialists of Concerto Köln and the Dresdner Festspielorchester - collaboration partners for this performance. Concerto Köln dives back into Wagner As in Das Rheingold, the conductor, top soloists and orchestra search for an orchestral sound and a text interpretation for Die Walküre that correspond to the means and ideas of Wagner's time. This is in good hands with the renowned specialists of Concerto Köln and the Dresdner Festspielorchester – collaborating partners for this performance. The most popular part of Der Ring des Nibelungen Of the four parts of the Ring, Die Walküre is the most popular, mainly because it introduces us to the passionate love of Siegmund and Sieglinde, an unfortunate pair of twins who will eventually bring the hero Siegfried into the world, although they will both die for it. The opera also contains by far the best-known melody of the Ring, the martial Ride of the Valkyries at the beginning of the third act. Die Walküre premiered in Munich in 1870, together with Das Rheingold, at the insistence of King Ludwig II, an ardent Wagnerian. Six years later, in 1876, the composer performed the entire tetralogy in Bayreuth. ------ Ensembles Dresdner Festspielorchester ;Concerto Köln Eras Romantic Location Concertgebouw, Amsterdam Concerto Köln delves into Wagner again Just as in Das Rheingold, the conductor, top soloists and orchestra for Die Walküre search for an orchestral sound and a text interpretation that correspond with the means and views of Wagner's time.
