Die Walküre continues the story of the Rhinedaughters' gold, the Ring of power which was forged from it, and the curse which falls on ist owner. The action moves to the earth - where Siegmund and Sieglinde, the mortal children of Wotan, are introduced - and follows the downfall of Wotan's hopes that Siegmund will prove to be the hero who saves the gods. Brünnhilde, the Valkyrie (warrior maiden) who gives the opera its title, becomes inextricably bound up with Wotan's pursuit of his vision.

When will you be putting on this version of Walkure again as I missed it?

I set my equipment to record this on Sky+. When I looked this morning, I found I had Act 1 and the start of Act 2, then ‘a technical fault’ had cut the rest - not good enough, Sky! I hope it will be repeated - it looked excellent as far as I was able to go.

Do you have any plans to repeat this Ring Cycle?

So I wasn’t the only one to suffer from ‘a technical fault’ !
When will this be repeated? We’ve had “The First Emperor” time after time. Surely you could repeat this Ring Cycle.
And any chance of any version of “Flying Dutchman” or “Mastersingers”?
