"I have included a terrible storm of elements and hearts, which only gradually subsides until Brünhilda's wonderful dream", Wagner wrote to Franz Liszt about the score of Die Walküre.
After the prelude to The Treasure of the Rhine, the opera about the tragic love of Wotan's children begins the dramatic trilogy in its narrower sense. Divine laws clash once again: can paternal love protect a son who transgresses the sanctity of marriage? And what punishment awaits the one who saves the unborn hero?
Hungarian State Opera
The Hungarian State Opera House is the only theatre in Hungary with a large company, specialising in operas and ballets. The building is one of Budapest's most important 19th century monuments. It was built in neo-Renaissance style according to the plans of Miklós Ybl. The richly decorated interior was designed by renowned Hungarian artists, including Mór Than, Károly Lotz and Bertalan Székely.
