Soft Valkyrie [ACT 3] - episode 15 - Twilight Part II

Nationale Opera & Ballet

Previously on Soft Valkyrie, Brunnhilde explained herself further to Wotan, first asking for his mercy, but eventually proudly embracing her decision and fate, with no regrets. She has helped save the Walsung family, by sending Sieglinde and the broken sword off to the forest, where the mother-to-be will soon give birth to the heroic child of incest, Siegfried. Wotan responded with ambivalence, acknowledging that her defense of Siegmund reflected his deeper intentions, but he remains committed to his punishment. Wotan is preparing for his awful deed. Let’s pause briefly to collect ourselves before the fire is lit, as he sings to Brunnhilde his most gentle lullaby. To find out how this story ends, you’ll have to tune in next time, to Soft Valkyrie.
