Richard Wagner: Die Walküre - Aus der Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin

Christian Thielemann conducts "Walküre", the second part of the "Ring des Nibelungen", at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden. Having paid the giants for building Valhalla with the ring stolen from Alberich, Wotan is determined to get it back. For if he fell into Alberich's hands again, the fate of the gods would be sealed. But since he himself, as the father of the gods, is not allowed to break contracts, his children Siegmund and Sieglinde are to take care of that...

Directed by Dmitri Tcherniakov, Andy Sommer, Richard Wagner: Die Walküre - Aus der Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin leans on a strong ensemble — Anja Kampe, Michael Volle, Robert Watson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2023.
