When we last "saw" Brunnhilde, her Father, Wotan, had just put her to sleep on a rock surrounded by flames.
Today, the final of the four Operas that compose "The Ring" will begin it's
5 1/2 hours of glorious love, greed, jealousy, betrayal and ultimately the end of the world. "Götterdämmerung" translates to "Twilight of the Gods"...
Here is a little video "snippet" just released from Thursday's Final Dress.....
For those of you * in the know* - Gerd is the baritone singing next to Siegfried as they pledge "Blood Brotherhood"! ;
As we say on any opening performance: "Toi, Toi, Toi!"
May your Sunday be warm and lovely,
Love from *Valhalla*,
♥ Robin ♥

ReplyDeleteBut you are bringing me joy with the snipets and your comments. Not as good as being there with you, but for now, it will do. Much love and enjoy every second of it.
