"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

"Götterdämmerung" Opens Today!

Pictured above Siegfried (Jay Hunter Morris) prepares to awaken Brunnhilde (Nina Stemme) with a kiss.

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*,
