Richard Wagner: Die Walküre. Robert Lepage's landmark production of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen is back for three complete cycles this spring, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the composer's birth. In the second installment, the focus of the story shifts from the realm of the gods to the human world. Deborah Voigt sings the role of Brünnhilde and Mark Delavan is Wotan. Stephanie Blythe, Martina Serafin, Simon O'Neill, and Hans-Peter König also star. Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium.
