Description:

Thielemann's "Ring", in which he took the podium as Barenboim's understudy, is now on film! Chernyakov's bold and convincing reinterpretation of the first night of "Die Walküre" with Anja Kampe's strong and beautiful Brünnhilde is a must-see! Among various projects, the most notable was a new production of "The Ring of the Nibelung" by Dimitri Cherniakov, which was to be performed four nights in a row during the season, but due to Barenboim's illness, Christian Thielemann was to perform three nights in a row, and Christian Thielemann was to perform one more night. Barenboim's protégé, the young German conductor Thomas Gugais, was to perform the other three. Thielemann will succeed Barenboim as music director of the Berlin State Opera in September 2024. The C major label will now release Thielemann's quartet of works as a video product.The first night, "Valkyrie," depicts the love of twin siblings whom Wotan, the chief of the gods, has with a human woman, and how Brünnhilde, one of Wotan's daughters and a female warrior Valkyrie who leads the heroes into the sky, is banished from the world of the gods. This work is set in the top-secret laboratory "ESCHE" and is brilliantly directed by Cherniakov. In "Valkyrie," the story takes place in a room under the watchful eye of the laboratory's director, Wotan. The Valkyries are the institute's employees, Siegmund is a fugitive, and Hunding is a policeman. Brünnhilde is sung by Anja Kampe, who has achieved international success in the Wagner repertoire. With her beautiful and taut voice, she is addicted to the strong and beautiful Brünnhilde. King International
