Michaela Schuster will sing Fricka in tomorrow's performance of Wagner's Die Walküre, replacing Jamie Barton.
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.
The 2018-19 season of The Met: Live in HD will continue at the Warner Theatre on Saturday, March 30 with Wagner's DIE WALKURE at 12:00 pm in the Nancy Marine Studio. The 2018-19 season is sponsored by Viron Rondo Osteria. A complimentary 45 minute pre-opera lecture by Dr. Marguerite Mull e will be offered in the Studio Theatre Lobby two hours before the broadcast, sponsored by Mitchell Auto Group. In what is expected to be a Wagnerian event for the ages, soprano Christine Goerke plays Br nnhilde, Wotan's willful warrior daughter, who loses her immortality in opera's most famous act of filial defiance. Tenor Stuart Skelton and soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek play the incestuous twins Siegmund and Sieglinde. Greer Grimsley sings Wotan. Philippe Jordan conducts.
The Ring Returns! Die Walkure, Opera's supreme experience returns to the Metropolitan Opera for the first time in six seasons with a cast of magnificent Wagnerians, led by the thrilling Christine Goerke making her Met debut as Brunnhilde. See Die Walkure in a live simulcast on the big screen at The Ridgefield Playhouse Saturday, March 30 at 12pm, part of Atria Senior Living Classical Series, underwritten by Jeanne Cook, Liz & Steven Goldstone and Sabina & Walter Slavin with support from Whistle Stop Bakery.
