Siegfried answers the question: What has become of Brünnhilde these 20-or-so years since DIE WALKÜRE? As Wagner’s epic continues to unfold, you might think you’ve entered the world of Dungeons and Dragons: the young hero of the story goes in search of a rich treasure, slays the monstrous cave-dwelling dragon who guards the hoard, and discovers a beautiful woman on a mountain top protected by impenetrable fire. And, finding her, awakens her with a kiss. Pure ecstasy as Brünnhilde sings “Hail to you, o sun!” leading to a glorious love duet with Siegfried. With English supertitles.
