Description:

Kirsten Flagstad, though in her mid-50s at the time of this performance, makes a compelling case for her continued reign as the quintessential Brünnhilde. Her voice retains its majesty and expressive depth, rising to the role’s challenges with dignity and emotional power.

Ferdinand Frantz is a commanding Wotan, hitting every mark in both the sweeping dramatic scenes and the opera’s more intimate passages. His performance is grounded in authority and deeply felt expression.

Günther Treptow and Hilde Konetzni bring warmth, lyricism, and vocal beauty to the roles of Siegmund and Sieglinde, adding tenderness and emotional clarity to the opera’s first act. Their duet is especially moving, shaped with grace and sensitivity.
