About this Performance
Following the LA Phil’s acclaimed production of Das Rheingold, Gustavo Dudamel and director Alberto Arvelo take on the second installment in Wagner’s grand Ring Cycle: Die Walküre, featuring a set designed by the famed late architect Frank Gehry. Envisioned as a three-part saga with each act standing on its own, this production boasts a cast of international opera superstars who bring to life a grand tale of love, fate, duty, and self-determination.
In the opening act of Die Walküre, Wagner transports us down from the realm of gods in Valhalla to the domain of men. The opera opens on a stormy evening as Siegmund (Jamez McCorkle) seeks shelter at the home of the warrior Hunding. He finds Hunding’s wife Sieglinde (Jessica Faselt), putting in motion one of the most rapturous love stories and duets in all of opera, set to Wagner’s luminous score.
This performance is generously supported by the Lloyd E. Rigler – Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation and Maria Seferian.
Frank Gehry’s set design is generously supported by the Contemporary Initiatives Fund.
