Wagner: The Valkyrie
Eos continues its groundbreaking traverse of the "mini-Ring", which began in 2001 with a modern staging of The Rhinegold in a chamber orchestra reduction. The terribly legacy of the Ring's curse falls upon lovers doomed by fate. Brunhilde, a Valkyrie warrier, disobeys her father, and Wotan's punishment is without mercy. This staging places Wagner's characters in a space of contemporary psychological reality, affording a new insight into Wagner's Utopian soundworld.
