Wotan's farewell to Brunhilde by Ferdinand Leeke

[bobdobalina]

Ohhhhh my god u think directors should follow the libretto? should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? should we invite franco zeffirelli

[blackswaneuroparedux]

“Weh! Weh! Süssestes Weib! Du traurigste aller Getreuen! Gegen dich wütet in Waffen die Welt: und ich, dem du einzig vertraut, für den du ihr einzig getrotzt, mit meinem Schutz nicht soll ich dich schirmen, die Kühne verraten im Kampf? Ha, Schande ihm, der das Schwert mir schuf, beschied er mir Schimpf für Sieg! Muss ich denn fallen, nicht fahr' ich nach Walhall: Hella halte mich fest!”

- Richard Wagner, Die Walküre

Arturo Toscanini conducts Richard Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries', 1948.

Der Ring des Nibelungen: Die Walküre (Bayreuth, 1980): Reactions, Part II

and we continue!!!

@beckmessering​

we love a good pendulum! (and prelude)

yeah hunding doesn’t deserve valhalla

BRÜNNHILDE HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tfw you’re in the middle of your dad’s disputes with his wife

wotan: “maybe i wouldn’t have fucked erda if i knew that i’d have even ONE daughter who constantly sang ‘hojotoho’ at top volume RIGHT BY MY EAR”

i want that dress

GIRLIE NO DON’T HELP *HUNDING*

i mean honestly? kinda valid

also fair

…ouch

hear me out: what if the existence of the divine and human free will AREN’T incompatible???

WHAT NO

noooooooooooooooooooooo

“…uh, did i interrupt something”

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

no love lost here

why did that skirt swoosh feel almost PERSONALLY OFFENSIVE

the PAIN

previously on the Ring… (but it actually works here for the story)

donald mcintyre is just *chef’s kiss*

OOF.

she fights for LOVE, which is honestly the best kind of fighting

YES GIRLIE GO OFF

WOTAN WHAT THE FUCK

she knows inside what she has to do

even though it hurts

they are…not doing well at the moment!

he’s trying his best tho

she can’t forgive herself

and she’s TRAUMATIZED

nonononono

oh BUDDY

gotta break the news somehow

she can end his suffering…

okay ngl he’s kind of a snack

and now for a commercial about valhalla

…but he can’t take his true love with him

and that’s a dealbreaker

even in the middle of this argument, his main concern is that she sleeps okay 🥺

not to make everything about the operas i’m perpetually thinking about, but definitely to make wagner roll in his grave…this is *so* les huguenots (giacomo meyerbeer, 1836) coded

she’s trying her best

SIEGMUND NO

she’s convinced

and she’s going to follow her gut and fight for her belief in love

i wanna hug them both so badly

oh HONEY

it starts…

LEAVE HER ALONE

YES BRÜNNHILDE

FUCK YOU WOTAN

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

heart: broken

if she can’t save one at least she can save the other

this boy is in AGONY

you can HEAR the pain in his voice

“orrrrrrrrrr just flop down on top of siegmund. whatever”

LEAVE BRÜNNHILDE ALONE

buddy you fucked up BIG time

Die Walküre (1910) - Arthur Rackham

[illustratus]

[beckmessering]

good day. this feels like the absolute weirdest thing i’ve ever written. probably, it is!

the themes were hard (and they’re heavy, beware!!) and i hope i’ve gotten it right, somehow. publishing things on the internet is very nope, not comfortable, but finishing a trilogy that wasn’t supposed to be one is very yep, big relief, +1000 happiness points, love. i always felt like sieglinde should get the last word in this story about the horrors of youth – so here she is. <3

[gluecookie]

opera stream alert!!!!

What? Copenhagen production of Die Walküre act 1 & 2. Maybe act 3 if we all have energy for another hour haha

When? wednesday 13th march 19 CET

Where? Kosmi link

It's time for the next part in the Ring cycle! We're gonna get some siblings fucking each other, frigga should get a divorce (if only she wasnt conservative on marriage), daddy Wotan is shitty to all his children, and the valkyries are drunk. Enjoy the copenhagen production's continued silly and wacky choices (no bathtub man though *single tear falls down my cheek*).

And Wagner gossip is very appreciated. I want that man's dirty stinky laundry in a fire

Newcomers are very welcome! Tagging previous participants in these shenanigans @respectablecapers @spghtrbry @ derringdo
