VIDEO: “Hojotoho!” from Die Walküre at the Met Opera

World Premiere: Court Theater, Munich, 1870. The second opera in Wagner's monumental Ring cycle, Die Walküre has long stood on its own as an evening of extraordinarily powerful theater. Part of this appeal lies in its focus on some of the Ring's most interesting characters at decisive moments of their lives: Wotan, the leader of the gods; his wife, Fricka; his twin offspring, Siegmund and Sieglinde; and, above all, Wotan's warrior daughter Brünnhilde. These characters and others follow their destinies to some of Wagner's most remarkable music.

A new opera based on the life of tabloid queen Anna Nicole Smith opened at Royal Opera House this Thurday, February 17.

The show, entitled ANNA NICOLE is described on their website as 'a celebrity story of our times that includes extreme language, drug abuse and sexual content,' and imposed a minimum age of 16. This new opera is provocative in its themes, exciting in its bravura style and thrilling with its sheer contemporary nerve,' it added in language normally reserved for reality TV. Anna Nicole Smith's life made the news -- you can bet this world premiere will too.'
